Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I have 2, one at work, one for home, I use mine daily. Mechanically and software-wise, it just works well and does everything I need. I don't use any of the integrated MS Office software tools, but I haven't needed them. I never use it to manually type a label, always hooked to the PC. I have a Brother Label Thing and I just hate trying to format and type on the little keyboard, I get 1 usable label for every 3 I print. The PC interface is a must... I set the default size in the software to 3.5" and every project, piece of reference material, etc. gets a folder with a nice label. It's on my home network so the wife an I both use ours to label everything. It's really helped me keep up with implementing GTD, David Allen's right, a nice label makes everything work better. And having an always on, always ready printer available from any PC in the house means I don't have a good reason not to just create the labels and folders as needed, no waiting... Label, folder, file, done! It makes me happy.
