Key Advantages
The LP 2844-P's powered USB interface simplifies setup by reducing cable clutter. Its compact and lightweight design suits tightly spaced office environments. The printer provides satisfactory print quality at 203 dpi, suitable for barcodes, text, and graphics on labels. Compatibility with EPL and ZPL enhances flexibility for various applications and system integrations. It maintains reliable performance for medium-volume labeling tasks. Zebra's robust build quality ensures durability and consistent operation over extended usage periods.
Limitations
The 203 dpi print resolution may be insufficient for extremely high-resolution barcode or graphic needs. The maximum print width of approximately 4 inches limits the label sizes it can accommodate. As a direct thermal printer, it requires heat-sensitive media and does not support thermal transfer ribbons, limiting media versatility. It is designed primarily for smaller scale or office labeling rather than heavy industrial throughput. Powered USB constraints can affect cable length and flexibility compared to models with separate power sources. The printer does not include advanced connectivity options such as wireless or Ethernet by default.
