This unit has a full assortment of bells and whistles, but you can ignore them and use the default/automatic settings and still have great results for many label needs.The unit has a number of preprogrammed formats for such things as file folder labels that help give consistent results.The automatic tape cut off is a nice feature.Be sure to get the AC adapter since battery life, especially when printing large size fonts will be a disappointment. The price of the adapter seems a little high which is why I rate the product 4 rather than 5 stars.The keyboard is easy to use and the process is fast enough that I see no need to have one of the more expensive versions that interfaces to a PC.All in all it has been everything I expected it to be.
