Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Casio Freedio is a great portable printer when you're on the go. Supporting IrDA infrared transmission, it's an ideal companion for your PDA, or it can connect to your desktop PC through the parallel printer interface. Working together with the optional FZ-700S scanner, the Freedio printer can be used without a computer for convenient copying. And don't worry if you run out of paper; the Freedio stores data in memory so that you can print later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Would you like your receipt, July 22, 2000

When I got my E-115, I bought the portable handheld printer at the same time. It works wonders. With small companies you can print out receipt. You can make business cards on the go. Hand someone a really great looking note which the will never lose. Really it work with any windows CE PDA that has a IrDA infrared port. With 64 different shades of grey and 400 dpi this isn't one of those black and grey printers. The one problem I had was power, it chew up batteries, like a cat and mouse, it's best to buy those rechargeable batteries right away. Just think, if you ever run out of paper the Freedio stores the print command in it's memory and prints it later when you have enough paper. It makes a great partnership with the FZ-700S scanner, once a document is scanned it send it via the IrDA port and prints the document. This is a great buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with the E-115, August 2, 2000

I got the Freedio printer after seeing it listed in the accessories catalog of my new E-115. After installing all the software, I couldn't get it to work and contacted Casio support. They informed me that it doesn't work with Pocket PC devices, because there is no task bar to activate the print routing from.

Greetings! Unfortunately I have to disagree with Neil - the FZ-500P does NOT work with the E-115. I just received it and the manual clearly states that it does only support models up to the E-105. Casio's customer support center confirms that. But to all the pre-E-115 owners: This device is sooo cool :) Just buy holding it in my hands I can tell that I would LOVE it (if it would work with my Cassiopeia). That's why I give it 3 stars (kinda to stay neutral).

Other than that: Don't Panic! (42)
