Eltron Zebra UPS LP2442-P Direct Thermal Printer

The Eltron Zebra UPS LP2442-P is a desktop barcode and label printer built for direct thermal output at 203 dpi. It connects through parallel and serial IEEE 1284 interfaces for integration with legacy shipping or inventory systems. The unit ships new with an AC adapter supplying 16 VDC at 4.0 A. No labels or ribbons are included in the package.

203 dpi Direct Thermal Capacity and Limits

Direct thermal printing handles 4 x 6 inch ship labels and similar media without ribbons, toner or ink cartridges. The 203 x 203 dpi resolution suits standard barcode, address and compliance labels. Print quality depends on media sensitivity and head condition; very fine graphics or small text may lack detail. The printer is not suited for applications that require thermal transfer durability or colour output.

Bundled AC Adapter and Tested Printhead

The included 16 VDC 4.0 A AC adapter powers the printer without a separate supply hunt. The supplier tests every unit and replaces worn parts such as printheads, rollers, belts and motors before dispatch. Printheads are verified to have no lines or dead pixels; platen rollers are checked for cracks, cuts or pits. Media and ribbons remain the buyer's responsibility.

Questions about this item

Will the LP2442-P's parallel IEEE 1284 port work with my older desktop that only has a 25-pin Centronics connector?

Yes, the printer includes a parallel IEEE 1284 interface compatible with standard 25-pin Centronics cables used on legacy PCs.

How can I verify the 203 dpi printhead is functioning correctly after connecting the 16 VDC 4.0 A adapter?

Run a self-test by holding the feed button while powering on; a clean test label with sharp bars and no missing lines confirms the head is working.

Does the box contain a serial cable, parallel cable or label roll for the UPS LP2442-P?

The unit ships with the AC adapter only; serial or parallel cables and direct-thermal label stock must be purchased separately.
