Leading the way in versatile and affordable
desktop printing
Direct thermal (LP) and thermal transfer (TLP) four-inch 2844 bar code label printers bring new levels of performance to the Zebra desktop family. Along with their siblings, the LP and TLP 2824, these space-saving, user-friendly printers deliver optimal performance in today’s on-demand desktop labeling applications.
Superior Printing at a Great Price
Both 2844 printers feature a new-generation printhead and enhanced controller board, motor, and power supply, enabling print speeds of up to four inches per second. OpenACCESS™ design and a clear media window make media loading and monitoring easy, and a full five-inch media roll means fewer label changes. Plus parallel, serial, and USB interfaces—and a ZebraNet® PrintServer II option—make these flexible, reliable and affordable printers a smart investment!
The LP/TLP 2844 integrate easily into a variety of low-volume printing applications including:
• Shipping/Receiving
• Warehouse shelf labeling and inventory control
• Hospitals and healthcare; medical laboratories
• Retail product marking
• Transportation/Logistics
• E-commerce postage
