My zebra LP2824 Thermal printer is driving me nutty. It skips tags between each printed one. I'm printing on thermal labels that are 1.1875x3.375 (2 side by side) so the total measurements are 2.375x3.375. I've tried several times to calibrate the printer as well, but am still having the problem. What am I missing? Oh, and I'm on Vista if that makes any difference. The printer is brand new and we already downloaded the latest version of zebra. Thanks!

Check to see if your tags are meant for thermal transfer printing? Hope this helps!

I am unsure if this one is a ribbor printer or a thermal......
if thermal the paper might be too old or the print head is going bad. if ribbon try replacing the ribbon, or you have a bad batch of ribbons.

check the driver, and the setings from the driver. Try ZDesign Driver or seggul driver from WWW.seaguscientific.com, and print the testpage, chech the connection (port) if is seria (com) check the setings speed etc...

I assume by double tags you mean 2 labels across the roll.
You need to tell your software that the roll is 2 across.
If using the software that comes with the printer, Zebra designer.
Set your label width to twice the single label and copy the barcode so that you have 2 across the label, then print

You have to calibrate the printer to solve this problem
Check following to solve this problem
1)Press the feed button and hold it for 1-2 seconds switching printer on.It will calibrate the labels.
2)Install Zebra Designer driver from CD.After installing Zebra designer Add printer Zebra Designer LP2824.After installing driver right Click the printer Zebra Designer LP2824 and go to printing preferences then select advanced option and calibrate printer.It will calibrate printer
3)Check the label size is properly set in printer or not.Label width and label height in printer settings should be same as label which you are using .

Recalibrate the printer and you should be good to go. Do this by turning the printer off, press and hold the button and turn on the power. When the light flases red let go and it will calibrate, at the end it will do a printout. Reboot the printer and your fixed.

check the setings from the label on the driver (length and with) reset the printer to factory defult.

This appears to be normal operation.

can you give more info? it sounds like you driver is set to thermal transfer mode but you have a direct thermal printer (LP not TLP)
