Amazon.com Review

The Casio KL-100 is an economical, compact label printer that fits easily in one hand as you stand and work. Although it's designed for right-handed folks, lefties will have little trouble with it. With six type sizes, three effects (shading, underline, and box), and four styles (normal, outline, shadow, and raised), you can make your labels as unique as the object they're marking. The printer has both English and Spanish language characters, but only one font built in. With fun options like ornamental frames and symbols, even the kids can join in on the fun.

The label maker can accommodate four tape sizes ranging from 0.25 to 0.75 inches. We found that the labels held up under both hot and cold temperatures (microwave or freezer) and were water resistant as well. Label at the office, in your kitchen, in the garden, in the tool shed, in the attic, or in the kids' rooms. From Tupperware and toys to storage boxes and light switches, the XL-100 is the ideal tool. Printing is exceptionally fast. It took only nine seconds to print and cut a label reading "Casio KL-100."

The unit's small LCD screen can be frustrating, and its operation isn't intuitive, but its low cost and great usability more than compensate. Overall, we think the Casio KL-100 will make a great labeler for teachers, industrial workers, and the compulsive organizer in all of us. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy little label printer, November 28, 2002

This thing comes in handy, and has saved me plenty of aggravation. Granted, having a label printer is somewhat of a luxury, but I find it very useful.

How many times have you needed to reinstall an OS, but forgot where the manual was with that damn key? Or if you are like me, the CDROM and CD case invariably gets separated at some point-especially with games that require the CDROM to play.

I always loose CD software key codes. I also tend to loose CD cases with the key stickers. Or worse, I've purchased and downloaded software, only to see my hard drive crash months later. Have you ever tried to contact a company like Intuit to get a copy of software that you purchased a year ago and get a key? It is a lesson in futility and frustration.

I'm much more organized now. I now burn a CD-R with downloaded software and label it with the unlock code, then store it elsewhere. I print a label with the CD key on original CDROMs, throwing away the case, and placing it with all my other CDs in an organizer binder. I also throw away the cardboard boxes that contain the games (or applications). My work area isn't so cluttered anymore.

Also great for legibly labeling file manila file folders.

Stock up on AA batteries, it uses six.

I have owned this little gem for about two years. I used it to label computer network peripherals, however, I found lots of other uses for it at home. I carrie it back and forth between work and home until I decided to purchase a second unit. The KL-100 is extremely easy to use and is very durable. My only complaint is the relatively high cost of the tapes that are available.
