Picked LP2844 Zebra printer finally: some questions

[they_screwed_me_too]

zebra or hp ?

[arshavin]

I went with the zeeeebra.

[arshavin]

The labels that have arrived are way too big for my printer I bought the 6 x 4 sized labels.

I have the zebra lp2844. Can someone give me a definate answer on what size fits?

The printer doesnt have the carbon labels either. I actually feel like smashing it clean up!

Buy them off eBay. Search "labels Zebra LP2844". They take 4" x 6" label rolls.

I bought a 4 x 6 and it will not fit into the printer!?

What is the label description?

Have you read the manual for ze zeeeeeeeeeeeebbbra?

Dead easy to use

[arshavin]

I think its because my roll has 1500 labels which is too many!?

Do you need to change the thermal ribbon often?

Probably a bit late and may not be great for you.

As a small seller, 20 items per week, I use the royal mail online facility.

All you need to do is select label, enter name, post ode and number, checkout and print. This prints of the address with my return address and has also paid for the postage so you can just put it in the post box.

I usually do this at work which takes longer as I have to use the manual feed tray on a big xerox machine, but at home you could just stick 20 label sheets in a printer and select 1 and print all off.

Do you guys use the PayPal print option or do you copy and paste into app for the printer?

The 4x6 inch labels usually come with 250 labels.

[arshavin]

I will need thermal ribbons though?

Is there any printers where I won't need thermal ribbons?

[GreenBean]

All you need is to sort the correct size labels.

Stand by

Our forum expert on these is TGMT²'s

Using SEARCH I found the replies to your worries...

yes you can print that size label.

TGMT²'s uses a smaller roll ( 325). Work out to either return your big beasties or split the roll.

Regardless, this is an easy, usable printer.
We just need to train the user

The LP 2844 will not hold a 1500 label roll. The biggest roll that I have found that will work is a roll of 320 labels.

If you have a 1500 roll, you might be able to figure something out for feeding them through the label slot in the back of the unit.

There is NO thermal ribbon on a LP 2844, they use a thermal print head...which should last for more than 100,000 labels.

The model in the YouTube video is NOT a LP 2844.

[arshavin]

I have the tlp an I paid over a hundred quid for it. I'm gonna try an send it back.

Keep on handwriting until we sort this

Very confusing ???

Hard to give you the correct information, if you yourself are unsure what you have.

Should say on top and or bottom of your printer the model number you possess.

[arshavin]

It's the tlp 2844

[arshavin]

The auction details say no returns accepted.

Does this mean i cant be forceful over a return?

Of course you can still return the printer. Obviously offer to pay the sellers original postage fees since it was your cock up.

[arshavin]

I emailed earlier saying I'd cover the postage. Hopefully they'll let it slide.
