Figure 1 RhinoPRO 5000 Printer
With your new DYMO RhinoPRO™ 5000 printer, you can create a wide variety of high-quality, selfadhesive labels. You can choose to print your labels in many different sizes and styles. The printer uses RhinoPRO Industrial label cassettes in widths of 1/4" (6 mm), 3/8" (9 mm), 1/2" (12 mm), or 3/4" (19 mm). RhinoPRO label cassettes are also available in a wide range of materials. Visit www.dymo.com/industrial for information on obtaining tapes and accessories for your printer.

Follow the instructions in this section to get started by printing your first label.
The printer can operate on AC or battery power. To save power, the printer will automatically turn off after five minutes of inactivity.
Inserting the Batteries
The printer uses six AA batteries.
To insert the batteries
Remove the batteries if the printer will not be used for a long period of time.
Connecting the AC Adapter
Connecting the AC adapter to the printer disconnects the batteries as a power source.
To connect the AC adapter
Your printer comes with one label tape cassette. Visit www.dymo.com/industrial for information about purchasing additional label cassettes.
To insert the tape cassette
Several language-related features on the printer are determined by the language setting, such as availability of special characters, units of measure, menu text, and so on.
By default the language is set to English.
To select a language
Select Universal as the language for the units of measure to be in millimeters.
You are now ready to print your first label.
To print a label
Congratulations! You have printed your first label.
Continue reading to learn more about the options available for creating labels.
Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your printer. See Figure 1 on the inside front cover. The following sections describe each feature in detail.
The button turns the power on and off. If no keys are pressed after five minutes, the power is switched off automatically.
The printer's LCD display typically shows a row of fourteen characters. However, you can enter up to 99 characters and spaces.
Hot key and feature indicators appear on the top, side, and bottom of the display to indicate that a feature is selected. See Figure 6.
Figure 5
Backlighting
When the printer is used in a low-light environment, the display may become difficult to read. The backlighting feature will light the display.
The key toggles capitalization on and off. When CAPS mode is turned on, the CAPS
indicator is shown on the display and all letters that you enter will be capitalized. The default setting is CAPS mode on. When CAPS mode is off, all letters entered appear in lower case.
The key is used to select the function or symbol printed above a key. For example, when you press , the Font size menu appears in the display; however, if you press + together, the Language menu appears.
The key removes the character to the left of the cursor. + clears all the current label text and fixed-length settings. Text size and other settings remain unchanged.
The key returns you to the starting point from within any function.
You can review and edit your label using the and arrows on the Navigation key.
You can also view menu choices using and , and then press to make a selection.
You can choose from a number of formatting options to enhance the appearance of your labels.
You can print the text on your label in five font sizes: extra-small, small, medium, large, and extralarge. Figure 7 shows the Font menu.
Figure 7
The font size you can use depends on the size of label tape that is installed in the printer.
To set the font size
You can create multi-line labels depending upon the size of the label tape, as follows:
Tape Size | 1/4" (6 mm) | 3/8" (9 mm) | 1/2" (12 mm) | 3/4" (19 mm) |
Number of Lines | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
To create a multi-line label
The printer supports the extended symbol set as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8
To add a symbol
In addition, commonly used electrical and datacom symbols are available on individual keys for easy entry. See Figure 9
Figure 9
The printer supports the extended Latin character set using RACE technology. Similar to using a mobile phone keypad, typing a letter multiple times within a very short time will scroll through variations of that letter.
For example, if you repeatedly press the letter a, you will see a à á â ã ä å and so on through all the variations available. The order in which the character variations appear depends on the language you have selected to use.
You can save up to eight labels in memory.
To save a label
Once a label is saved to memory, you can recall the label to print or edit.
To recall a label from memory
When you no longer need a stored label, you can delete it from memory.
To delete a label from memory
You can create labels for specific applications using hot keys. Hot keys are available for wraparound, fixed, patch panel, terminal block, and barcode labels. See Figure 10.
Figure 10
You can create labels that wrap around a cable or wire. The text is placed vertically or horizontally along the width of the cable and repeated so that you can read the label from any angle.
You can select from a number of different wire gauges or cable lengths. Figure 11 for shows the menu selections available.
CAT X/COAX | 1/0-4/0 AWG |
22-16 AWG | CABLE 3.0" |
14-10 AWG (Default) | CABLE 4.0" |
8-4 AWG | CABLE 5.0" |
3-1 AWG | CABLE 6.0" |

Normally, the length of the label is determined by the length of the text entered. However, you may wish to make a label for a specific purpose that is a fixed length regardless of the length of the text.
You can specify a fixed length for a label in 0.250" (6 mm) increments between 0.500" (20 mm) and 40.000" (999.9 mm). The preset fixed length is 1.5" (25 mm). Any change you make to the fixed length setting remains in effect until you change it.
The amount of text that will print on the label determines the minimum length of a label, regardless of the fixed length you set manually. For example, setting a fixed length of 0.50" for a label with 20 characters would have no effect on the label length.
To set the label length
Patch panel mode allows you to label a row of ports on a patch panel. You select the distance between ports, enter the desired text, serialize, and print. The result is a long label with multiple, evenly spaced text for each port. See Figure 14.
Figure 14
To print a patch panel label
Terminal block labels are very similar to patch panel labels; however, the text is printed vertically. See Figure 15.
Figure 15
To print a terminal block label
Single-line labels can be printed with the text running vertically.
To print vertically
The printer can generate two types of barcodes: CODE-39 and CODE-128. You can only print a barcode on 3/4" (19 mm) label tape.
The barcode will print horizontally along the label with the text in small print underneath the barcode.
You can optionally add text before and after the barcode.
To create a barcode
You can choose to print multiple copies of the same label, print serialized labels, or print a combination of both.
You can print up to 99 copies of the same label at one time. When printing multiple copies, a dotted cut-line is printed between each label.
To print multiple copies
You may notice a brief pause in printing between each label for more complex formats.
When printing is finished, the number of copies to print returns to 2.
The default leader space for all labels is approximately 5/16" (10 mm). To add additional blank space to the beginning or end of your label, you can feed the tape in 0.25" (6 mm) increments.
You can print serialized labels numerically or alphabetically. Numbers can be incremented from 1-99 and letters from A-Z.
You can serialize any number or letter by placing the cursor under the position to be incremented, such as the number 2 in 123 or the letter B in ABC. For example, with the cursor under the 2 in 123 and the increment #=3, the resulting labels would print as 123, 133, and 143.
When the letter Z or the number 9 is reached during serialization, a letter or number is added to increase the increment. For example, Z increments to AA and 9 increments to 10.
When a space is present in a string to be serialized, only the numbers or letters after the space are serialized.
To serialize your labels
To print multiple copies of the same serialized label, choose + and enter the number of copies of each label to print. See Printing Multiple Copies
Depending on the label material you choose, you may need to lighten or darken the print on the label.
Adjusting the print head temperature allows you to control the print quality (+/- 20).
To set the print head temperature
Your printer is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while requiring very little maintenance.
Clean your printer from time to time to keep it working properly. Clean the cutter blade each time you replace the tape cassette.
