Zebra TLP 2844

Hi
How to Print bachprint

I've Zebra TLP2844, it is on USB interface. how i can add that printer to ZDesigner on a network machine. can i use it as a shared printer on other machine and how...?

The Zebra 2844 uses EPL Eltron Programming Language
The 2844-Z uses ZPL (Zebra Programming Language)

The Zebra software supplied with these printers is called "Zebra Designer" and it uses an internal printer driver. "ZDESIGNER LP2844" or "ZDESIGNER LP2844Z". These drivers only work with "Zebra Designer"

Zebra printers use a windows driver. it can be downloaded directly from the Zebra website. This driver or "ZUD driver" installa itself as "Zebra LP2844" or "Zebra LP2844Z". With the zud driver installed you can use any windows application to print to a zebra printer E.g Word, Excel....etc.

To print directly to your 2844 you must write your code in EPL.
The EPL programming manual can be downloaded from Zebra website.

I hope this helps.

If you are using one of the drivers from Seagull Scientific, you can
add a specific page/label size into the driver for the settings you
want. When you have selected the Zebra as the printer, this page
format will then appear as one of the selectable paper sizes on the
page setup screen (or I guess you could save it as a document
template).

With the Zebra driver selected the Zebra text fonts should now also
appear in the font selection window. Bar codes however will be a
problem as I don't think you can directly address the printers
in-built bar code fonts from there. You could use a bar code ttf file,
but the drawback to this is that the file will be sent to the printer
as a graphic file rather than a label format.

You can download the programming manuals for the TLP 2844 from Zebras
website (www.zebra.com), but you need to know whether you have the
standard 2844 or the 2844-Z model as they use a different programming
language EPL2 or ZPL respectively.

Thanks, I have TLP-2844 (without the "Z" - it's not on the label that is on
the printer, or on papers I've got with the printer).

I didn't find any manual or tech-reference about codes for direct printing,
either on the site www.zebra.com  nor on the papers I got when I had the
printer.
I didn't find other simple way to print.
Right now, I should prefer to print directly to the printer (without any
driver), because something I've got.

Help, please.

Thanks :)
