Introduction  
Operating Precautions  
Congratulations on your selection of the CASIO KL-120 Label Printer.This CASIO  
Label Printer makes it possible for you to print adhesive labels for a wide variety  
of applications, such as: name tags, CD/DVD labels, binders, and other  
applications.  
Observe the following precautions to ensure that the printer provides you with  
the years of trouble-free operation for which it is designed.  
Avoid using the printer in areas exposed to direct sunlight, and in areas sub-  
jected to high humidity, electrostatic charge, sudden temperature changes,  
and temperature extremes.OperatingTemperature Range:10°C to 35°C (50°F  
to 95°F)  
You can produce attractive, original labels thanks to such features as:  
Battery capacity becomes lower at temperatures of 10°C (50°F) and colder.  
This can cause the “LOW BATTERY!message to appear sooner than normal.  
If this happens, move the printer to a location that is within the operating  
temperature range (10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F)).  
Never subject the printer to strong impact or shock.  
Never allow paper clips, pins, or other similar objects to get inside the printer  
mechanism.  
Variable tape sizes (6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm)  
Attractive sans-serif font  
Font effects (shading, underline, box)  
Character Styles (normal, bold, outline)  
Built-in symbols  
Text memory  
Never pull on the tape with excessive force or try to push it into the cassette.  
Place the printer on a level surface when printing. A tilted surface can make  
normal printing impossible.
