Casio CW-K85 Printer

As a stand alone I had difficulty switching from Spanish to English or figuring out the navigation but it works (I can use some new glasses).

My printer came with used batteries and no adaptor for electricity which is considered optional. I bought batteries but feared using them up before I could figure out the machine. I ordered the adaptor. You can also get 8 or 16 rechargeable batteries. (8 to use and 8 to be ready to change).

On screen my computer shows the menu which for the first set of choices cuts off at the bottom and the window is not adjustable. I chose data, one of the top 3 choices there was also music and digital image labels The lower 3 are File open, Free ? and Free ? ... ? is what I can't see.

After that setting up a label, choosing a font and font size are easy to do, Printing is simple and quick once you get started. BUT after making 28 labels with 3 lines printed in 2 runs each the ink cartridge ran out of tape!

Overall buying a less expensive printer seemed thrifty but add either a barage of batteries or an adaptor that costs half the price of the printer and an ever ending suply of cartridges (luckily I ordered more already) the cost is more than it first appears to be. Otherwise the printer works well enough.
