Key Advantages

The LP 2543 offers robust construction suitable for office environments requiring consistent label printing capabilities. Its direct thermal printing process reduces consumable costs by eliminating ink and toner. The device supports multiple connectivity options, increasing compatibility with various host systems. Compact design allows placement on tight office spaces without sacrificing performance. The printer's compatibility with Zebra's widely-used EPL and ZPL programming languages enables advanced customization. Reliable print speed of up to 5 inches per second caters well to medium volume printing needs.

Limitations

The printer's 203 dpi resolution may limit print quality for highly detailed barcode or graphic requirements. Direct thermal printing is sensitive to heat and light exposure, which can reduce label durability over time. The device lacks wireless connectivity options, restricting flexibility in modern network environments. Media handling is limited to smaller label rolls, which could increase user intervention for high volume tasks. Its discontinued status means limited official support and scarcity of replacement parts. The relatively slower print speed when compared to newer models might affect efficiency in high-demand scenarios.
