2-Year Warranty Bumper-to-bumper on the ribbon. Call us, we confirm it is not working, you send it in, and we repair and ship it back within 7 days. If we cannot repair it, we replace it. Free 3-Year Extended Warranty Add-On Same bumper-to-bumper repair or replace, for a longer term. +$49.99

Not sure which warranty length you need?

If this printer is for occasional personal shipping, 2 years is plenty. For steady weekly or daily business volume, the extended warranty adds peace of mind and typically pays for itself with one avoided repair.

1-Hour Phone Support One computer. We log in, install the driver, get a test print, and set your shipping app to print. Free 2-Hour Install Package A harder setup, or up to 3 computers on a network printer. You do not have to use the hours in one sitting. +$49.99

Not sure which support package you need?

If you are comfortable following a quick-start guide, the included 1-hour session is enough for most USB setups. Choose the paid install package if you want us to install drivers and walk through your shipping software.

Specifications

Everything you need to know, no manual required

Metric	What It Means	Your Advantage
Print methodThermal Transfer	Uses ribbon for more durable print.	Match media (and ribbon, if TT) to this method.
Resolution203 DPI	Print density. 203 dpi is standard shipping; 300/600 dpi is finer text and barcodes.	Higher DPI costs speed on Datamax I-46xx class machines.
Print speed4 ips	How fast the printer can move media (OEM max).	Industrial 10–12 ips desks outrun a 4 ips LP2844 on bulk batches.
Max print width4"	Widest media this model can print.	4″ class takes standard 4×6 shipping labels.
Print languageEPL2	Command language the host/app speaks (ZPL, EPL, DPL, IPL, ESC/POS, DYMO, …).	Match this to your software — or call (312) 416-1518.
Typical media4x6 TT ribbon	Stock this class is built for.	Do not load DYMO cassettes in a Zebra, or 4×6 rolls in a 2-inch/receipt printer.
Media width1.00″–4.25″	Label + liner width this model can track (OEM).	4×6 shipping stock is 4″ wide. 2-inch desks cannot take it.
Max roll OD5″ (127 mm)	Largest media roll that fits the cover.	Desktop 5″ rolls are not industrial 8″ OD stock.
Core1.0″ or 1.5″	Cardboard tube the OEM lists for this desk.	TPO 1″ desktop 4×6 packs fit this class. 3″ industrial rolls do not.
Media thickness0.003″–0.0075″	Label + liner thickness from the OEM sheet.	Thick tag stock outside this range can jam or print light.
Max print length11″ (standard memory)	Longest label the standard memory can image (OEM).	A 4×6 shipping label is well under this limit.
Media sensorsGap, black mark, and notch	How the printer finds the gap or black mark.	Die-cut 4×6 uses the gap sensor; black-mark stock uses the reflective sensor.
Memory (OEM)512 KB Flash, 256 KB SRAM	Standard Flash / RAM on the public spec sheet.	Inferred-public-spec — this refurbished unit is not a TPO lab measurement.
Ribbon (TT)~74 m on 0.5″ core, ink-side-out	TLP-2844 ribbon from the Eltron/Zebra sheet.	Needed only in thermal-transfer mode.
Connectivity (typical)USB	Ports commonly on this class. This refurbished unit’s exact ports are the variants on the buy box.	Pick USB vs Ethernet vs Wi-Fi in the buy box when this listing offers Connection options.
Warranty2-year included	Parts and labor on refurbished printers from TPO.	Optional 3-year add-on SKU at checkout. Not a 5-year upgrade.
