Zebra 3844 Z Series Details

Overview

The TLP 3844-Z desktop printer with ZPL capability brings high resolution performance to the ZPL desktop architecture.

Scanning and reading data on very small labels, such as laboratory vials or electronic components, is greatly enhanced.

Equipped with serial, parallel, and USB interfaces, Zebra's 3844-Z offers versatile connectivity and integration-quickly and easily network the TLP 3844-Z into an Ethernet environment with the optional internal ZebraNet PrintServer II.
