Zebra LP2824

Quick view

The Zebra LP2824 is a compact direct thermal printer designed primarily for label printing in office and retail environments. It employs direct thermal printing technology, which requires no ink or toner by heating specially coated thermal paper. The printer supports a maximum print width of 2.36 inches and can print at speeds up to 4 inches per second, optimized for small to medium volume label production.

Connectivity is typically via serial or parallel ports with optional USB, allowing versatile integration with point-of-sale systems and inventory management software. The printer supports EPL and ZPL programming languages, facilitating easy label formatting and barcode generation. It features a sturdy and compact desktop design with a clamshell mechanism for easy media loading and low maintenance requirements.

Zebra LP2824 offers straightforward operation with minimal user intervention due to direct thermal technology eliminating the need for consumables like ink ribbons. Its compact design fits well in limited workspace environments. The printer handles a variety of label types and sizes, making it versatile for different labeling needs.

High reliability and fast printing speed increase productivity in office or retail settings. Extensive compatibility with Zebra's label design software and multiple communication options enhance integration flexibility.

The LP2824 uses direct thermal printing which limits label durability and exposure to heat or light can cause fading. It is less suitable for long-term or outdoor label applications compared to thermal transfer printers.

The resolution is limited to 203 dpi, which may not be suitable for very high detail barcode printing. The connectivity options are somewhat dated, with many units lacking native USB ports without adapters. Media capacity is limited, requiring frequent reloads in high volume environments.
