How to Print PDFs in your Zebra Thermal Printer
We have requests from our customers to show them how to print PDFs with our Zebra LP 2844 Thermal Printers. We use our printer to print all our shipping labels, customers invoices, receipts and coupons. The nice part about the coupon is that they are self stick. You can put the coupon anywhere. We made the coupon with a word processor and made it into a PDF.
There is free program that can be downloaded from the Zebra.com site that is called Zebra Designer. The program will help you design any label for your printer. The reason we did not use it is because it was a bit hard to use and too technical. We have no experience with this program. Word processors are very easy to use. We did not use the word processor to print because the labels were not printing out right.
Here are the steps to print anything from PDFs with your Zebra Pinter:
First open your PDF file and go to your File Menu and click on Print Set Up option.
There you will see a new window. Then click on the drop down menu for the names of your printers. Click on the Zebra 2844. Click on Paper size drop down menu and choose 4 X 6 to make sure the program prints to the right size paper. Source, click on Continuous roll. Click OK
Go back to your File menu and click on the Print option.
A new window will pop up. Make sure to click on Page Scaling drop down menu and choose Shrink to Printable Area and click OK
You only have to do this once.
We hope this helps.
Let us know if you have any questions.
