Key Advantages
The Zebra TLP2824 offers high printing speed, enhancing workflow efficiency in busy office settings. Its compact size saves valuable desk space without compromising functionality. The dual thermal transfer and direct thermal printing support provide versatility across diverse labeling requirements. Compatibility with Zebra's ZPL and EPL programming languages simplifies integration with existing systems. The printer is equipped with multiple connectivity options, including both serial and parallel ports, ensuring ease of installation. Additionally, its reliable media handling and sensor technology reduce label jams and printing errors.
Limitations
The TLP2824's maximum print resolution of 203 dpi may not be suitable for high-definition graphic printing. It lacks modern connectivity options like USB or network interfaces, limiting integration with newer systems. The printer's design supports smaller label widths only, restricting its use for larger labeling tasks. Its printing speed, though adequate, is slower compared to later generation industrial printers. The device's firmware update process requires manual connection, which may be cumbersome for some users. Replacement parts for this older model can be less readily available, potentially increasing maintenance challenges.
