About Your New Printer

With your new RHINO 4200 label printer, you can 
create a wide variety of high-quality labels. You can 
choose to print your labels in many different sizes and 
styles. The printer uses RHINO Industrial label 
cartridges in widths of 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, or 3/4”. RHINO 
label cartridges are also available in a wide range of 
materials, such as flexible nylon, permanent polyester, 
vinyl, non-adhesive tag, and heat shrink tubes.

Warranty Registration

Visit

 www.dymo.com/register

 to register your label 

printer online. During the registration process, you will 
need the serial number, which is located inside the 
battery compartment.

Getting Started

Follow the instructions in this section to start using your 
printer for the first time.

Connecting the Power

The printer can be powered using batteries or AC 
power. Visit 

www.dymo.com

 for information on 

obtaining an optional rechargeable battery pack or AC 
power adapter.

For optimal power, use the optional rechargeable 

Lithium-ion battery pack or the AC power adapter.

To save power, the printer automatically goes into 
standby mode after two minutes of inactivity and 
automatically turns off after five minutes of inactivity.

Inserting the Batteries

The printer can operate using six AA alkaline batteries.

To insert the batteries

1

Press the thumb latch on the back of the printer to 
remove the battery compartment cover. See 
Figure 2.

Figure 2 

2

Insert the batteries following the polarity markings 
(+ and -). See Figure 2.

3

Replace the battery compartment cover. 

Remove the batteries if the printer will not be used 

for a long period of time.

Connecting the Optional Power Adapter

The printer uses an optional power adapter (DYMO 
Switching Adapter 9V DC 2A). Connecting the power 
adapter with the optional battery pack inserted 
recharges the battery pack. 

Make sure the power adapter is disconnected 

before handling the Lithium-ion battery pack.

To connect the power adapter

1

Plug the power adapter into the power connector 
on the top of the printer. See Figure 3.

Figure 3 

2

Plug the other end of the power adapter into a 
power outlet.
