I’ve tested the label maker and it works. I was able to print a symbol but could not duplicate the process. It does not come with an instruction manual. Please see the last photo where the letter “j” is partially missing from the display, so I assume the display may not be functioning completely. Comes with 2 brand new label cassettes as well as the partial one still in the unit. Takes 8 AA batteries not included. Sold “as is”.
