This feature will be helpful to you if you're creating a label database from scratch. You can even import or paste several common graphics formats to add a logo, photograph, or symbol to your labels. And the program can capture addresses from a document and place them in its database. In such cases, retyping your data into the program may be your only option. We did succeed in importing Palm Pilot data into Microsoft Outlook and then into the printer's program, but users should not have to jump through so many hoops to import the contact information they've collected over the years.
Setup is easy, although the documentation inaccurately describes some of the buttons.
Unfortunately, Seiko's hardware solution to the problem of aligning small batch labels doesn't overcome the software's flaws. We recommend this product only if you either don't print labels often, don't mind creating a label database from scratch, or already have your contact information in Microsoft Outlook.
