ZEBRA LP 2824

Hi All,

I would really appreciate if somebody can help me configure my new zebra lp 2824 barcode printer. it's usb/serial interface, I am currently running it on usb interface. Initially I had installed it with the supplied windows drivers, but then i found out about how it only works with generic/text driver so i uninstalled the printer in the device manager and deleted it from printer menu. i reinstalled it with generic/text drivers and tried to use RMS label designer to design a label for it, when sent to the generic controlled printer it doesn't print at all. Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.

If you want to use a label designer label, use the windows drivers.

If you want to use text/generic, switch to the Serial interface and use the text based label ELTRON.LBL. To edit the label format, download the EPL2 programmers guide from Zebra's web site.

The EPL language plus the Generic/Text driver gives you more control of the format, but you pretty much have to be a programmer to use it.

The label designer plus Windows drivers gives you a graphical UI that can be used to design a simple label that is fine for most applications.

The Windows driver also supports the USB interface - I believe Generic/Text needs to be either serial or parallel.
