Key Advantages
The LP2824 Plus offers compact design suitable for limited workspace environments. It provides reliable, high-quality label printing with 203 dpi resolution enhancing barcode accuracy. Multiple connectivity options (serial, parallel, USB) enable easy integration with existing systems. The printer's support of both thermal transfer and direct thermal media increases versatility. It has a robust print mechanism ensuring consistent performance over extended usage. The inclusion of two programming languages (EPL and ZPL) broadens its compatibility and ease of deployment.
Limitations
The LP2824 Plus is limited by its maximum print width of 72 mm, inadequate for wide-format label needs. Its print speed (up to 4 inches per second) may be insufficient for high-volume printing environments. The 203 dpi resolution, while standard, is lower than some newer printers offering finer detail. The device has limited onboard memory compared to modern printers, restricting complex label designs. It lacks advanced networking capabilities, such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi connectivity. Additionally, replacement parts for this model have become harder to source due to its discontinued status.
