Great bargain

I bought this few years ago on clearance at Staples for under ten bucks. It has been working great, initially with W98SE and now with XP. I agree with other reviewers on the right click submenu issue, which can be disabled, and the relatively useless mouse pad. The tapes are relatively cheap (but more than the printer) and you have several options in size and color. The software is OK. If all you want is to print labels from your PC keyboard without going through batteries, this is a great little gadget if you find it at a cheap price. I might upgrade to a Brother and sell mine soon.

Great.......but............

This has been a great cut and print label maker. The only irritating part being the normal right mouse key function of cutting and pasting are disabled as long as the Casio drivers are active.

Great product at a very low price

1. Got it at Fry's for only 14.99
2. It is overpriced at Amazon.com around $28.
3. It is cheap because Casio is only giving you
the printer and a USB cable. It costs Casio more to
manufacture the input keyboard associated with the
label printer.

Good product.

rough install, wastes tape

Purchased several, had problems each time I tried to install. Poor support. I do NOT recommend. never did get to work with XP!

It's a bargain, if you can stand the quirky software.

Compared to comparable label printers this unit is a bargain at [$$$]The product concept of combining a hard plastic Mouse Pad and a Label Printer is STRANGE to say the least. But fortunately you can remove the useless mousepad.

Software is also quirky (you are advised to download the latest software FA-B30 from the Casio website which does support XP)

In it's default state after the software is installed it takes over the right mouse click context menu so that you can print
make labels out of whatever text that is currently selected instead of the normal right context menu for the application. (I'm not sure why they did not just add this function to the existing menu instead of taking over) - This feature can be disabled by properties.

The software is actually quite friendly in many ways, it shows the preview of the labels being printed, there are some pre defined BMP images that can be inserted to the labels, it even allows you to caputure a part of screen and insert it to the labels. The user interface is not very intuitive but I'm not complaining at this price.

All in all this is a useful printer at a bargain price
