Limitations
The TLP 2844-Z's maximum print resolution (203 dpi) is lower compared to newer models, which may not be suitable for printing very detailed images or small barcodes. It lacks modern connectivity options such as USB or Ethernet, limiting integration in contemporary network environments. The printer's maximum print width (2.83 inches) restricts it to smaller label sizes only. The build is more oriented toward desktop use and is not recommended for industrial-scale printing. It does not natively support wireless printing capabilities. Firmware and driver support have become limited due to its age and discontinuation.
