I tried using the palm-sized 'Tepra' Lite LR30 that can be printed from a smartphone
The palm-sized label printer 'Tepra' Lite LR30 , which allows you to easily create labels by operating it from your smartphone app, was released by King Jim on Tuesday, August 20, 2019. This 'Tepra' Lite LR30 is the first smartphone-only Tepra, and although it is the smallest in the history of King Jim, it has abundant functions such as inserting photos taken with smartphones and creating caricatures. So I tried using it right away.

The package looks like this.
Open the box.
The contents are the instruction manual, 'Tepra' Lite LR30 main body.
The dimensions are approximately 71 mm x 46 mm x 76 mm, which is a 'hand-held' size. Since it is battery-powered, it can be placed anywhere.
When placed side by side with the iPhone XS, it's about half the height.
At the top of the main unit is a button for cutting tape (left side) and a power button (right side).
On the bottom of the main body, a '△' mark is written to remove the side lid.
To refill the tape, first hook your fingernail on the '△' mark on the side with the window to check the tape and open the lid.
There was a dent to set the tape when opened.
Use a tape with a width of 15 mm.
Before setting the tape, tear off the tip of the tape along the perforations.
There is a '△' mark in the red frame, so align the tip of the tape with the mark.
You can check the remaining amount of the set tape from the window on the side.
To insert the battery, hook your fingernail on the '△' mark on the side that does not have a window to check the remaining amount of tape, and open the lid.
When opened, there is a recess for setting 4 AAA batteries.
Set the batteries.
Press the power button to turn on the power.
If the LED in the red frame glows white, the power is turned on.
To use 'Tepura' Lite LR30, the dedicated application ' TEPRA Lite ' is required. 'TEPRA Lite' can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play.

I will try to capture handwritten characters.
When you capture the image, it looks like this. If you want to use it in landscape orientation, tap 'Rotate' to rotate the image by 90 degrees.
You can change the range of the captured area by sliding the green circles at the four corners of the selection.
You can adjust the brightness and contrast with the slider in the red frame on the left, and the preview is displayed in the red frame on the right.
I was able to print even handwritten characters.
You can also add caricatures to create unique labels, such as when creating name labels for family and friends. Tap the 'caricature' icon.
Select parts such as 'contour' and 'hair' to create a caricature.
The position and size of each part can be adjusted.
Tap the 'Time' icon to create a time label for the album or a label for the expiration date.

Various templates are available for those who are 'not confident in their taste' or 'difficult to think of elaborate labels'. Tap the 'template' icon.
The template menu is divided according to the scene, and you can select from 'Name', 'Organize and store', and 'Gift decoration'. When you tap 'Name' ...
There was a label template for putting a name label on your belongings and for distinguishing types such as plants. Just looking at the template will help you to use it.
In the 'Organize and store' category, there are templates for sorting seasonings and clothing. Select the 'T-shirt' template as a trial.
Then, the screen changed to the label creation screen, and you could edit and print immediately. By using templates, you can easily create labels without worrying about design.
