3.0 out of 5 stars It's a bargain, if you can stand the quirky software., January 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio KL-P1000-L Mouse Pad Label Printer (Office Product)

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, but Excelent!!!, January 7, 2002

If you could (and you can) find this label printer for about half the price, it's well worth it. This is a great little USB lable printer that takes up very little space. Though I find the mouse pad portion useless and small, it can be removed. I agree with the other reviews, the software is limited, but the hardware is great. You can print from 6mm to 18mm tapes. Great for organizing cluttered offices or homes! Very versitile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product at a very low price, January 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio KL-P1000-L Mouse Pad Label Printer (Office Product)

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.
