Quick Overview

The TLP 3842's 300 dpi printhead enables high quality, crisp, clear printing for labeling applications that require data such as two-dimensional barcodes, fine text, or composite graphics. Producing data on very small labels, for example laboratory vial labels or jewelry tags, is greatly enhanced by the high-density 300 dpi print resolution.

Equipped with serial, parallel, and USB interfaces, Zebra's 3842 offers versatile connectivity and integration. The TLP 3842 is used for a variety of applications, including prescription bottle labeling, laboratory specimen labeling, electrical component, and mechanical part labeling.
