At 2.2" (56 mm), the direct thermal and thermal transfer TLP 2824 bar code label printer is ideal for retail and other label applications. The TLP 2824 redefines the compact printer class. It fits into areas other printers cannot, withstanding rough handling and integrating easily into a wide range of applications. A 5" (127 mm) media roll capacity and clear media window optimize productivity, while a maximum print speed of 4" (102 mm) per second enables fast job processing.
The TLP 2824 excels in delivering printing solutions for business and professional offices, including retail point of sale, shelf labeling, product marking, healthcare specimen labeling and patient tracking, inventory and asset management, small office or home office mailing, shipping, and file folder labeling.
