Limitations
The LP2844 is limited to a 203 dpi resolution, which may not be suitable for high-detail barcode or graphic printing. It supports a moderate print speed compared to newer models, which could be slower for very large batches. The printer’s design primarily fits medium-scale environments, making it less ideal for heavy industrial usage. Media capacity is limited due to its small form factor, requiring frequent media replacement. It lacks wireless connectivity options found in newer printers. Limited firmware upgrade paths may restrict compatibility with newer operating systems.
