Casio announced today the release of a new product in its Label it! lineup of label printers—the KL-G2. This label printer allows users to make labels with the unit itself, as well as create many kinds of labels with ease using a connected personal computer. The new Casio KL-G2 is compatible with personal computers running a Windows operating system. By connecting the KL-G2 to a computer via USB and using the bundled software package, users from around the world can design their own label layouts and easily create labels in their native language with fonts installed on the PC.
The Casio KL-G2 is a high-performance printer capable of printing at 20 millimeters per second, and it is equipped with an auto cutter with a half-cut function. It also comes with functions for helping improve efficiency in busy stores and businesses, including a number printing function that comes in handy when producing a sequence of labels, and a time stamp function for inputting the day’s date at a touch of a button.
With the KL-G2, users can create their own labels while checking the layout on a computer display, as well as produce labels using the various fonts installed on their PC in the language of their choice. Moreover, 13 kinds of bar codes can be printed when connected to a PC (seven when using the unit alone), making this label printer highly useful for making business more efficient. Users can select from English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, or Indonesian as the operating language shown on the unit’s display. The KL-G2 can create labels in 31 different
languages, including the eight aforementioned operating languages as well as Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Hungarian, Polish, Czech, and others.
The Casio KL-G2 comes with eight installed fonts, 60 logo designs combining frequently used words and illustrations, and another 642 illustrations and symbols. It also features an enlarged print function that allows one large label to be created on multiple label sheets, and an index function for creating header labels attached to the end of paper and file partition tab labels that can be folded over the tab.
