Did just fine right out of the box. Extra tape is a little expensive, though. Made great labels, but it's real hard to peel the backing off the tape neatly. (The old manual Dymo labelers had a neat tape cut-off system that made it easy to start tearing the backing off. Wish they had incorporated that feature!).
