***IMPORTANT***

Please make sure to set up your driver to the right printer model name and number. In this case the LP 2844.  Also before printing go to the Thermal Printer Properties on the Printers and Faxes Folder. Click on the Printer Preferences. Make sure to set up the printer to use the 4" X 6" paper. If you do not do that the printer might print only a part of the label or print it wrong. Also for better results set up the printing speed to 2. The menu to change speed setting is under device options, speed settings. You can also try different levels of darkness under device options, head settings, print darkness. Try the darkest setting.


Please try to play with the settings before assuming the printer is defective. Everyone uses a different shipping programs. Most of the programs we know are set up to take advantage of the thermal printers.

Please contact us if you have additional questions or if you believe you have gotten a defective unit from us. We are happy to help you.
