Zebra TLP2844 Flashing Red Light
Zebra TLP2844 Flashing Red Light? Fact is, the TLP2844 printer does not have an LCD screen to display and errors or faults. The only thing we get to work with on this printer is a blinking light. While a blinking light can’t present as much information as an LCD screen, we can still try a couple things to get us back on track to printing some labels.
The TLP2844 printer will produce an error state for several reasons but most can be remedied with a quick reset. Whether the printer was not closed properly and needs to be pressed on harder to get it to click closed on both sides or the printer has run out of labels, the blinking red light isn’t going to tell us specifically. So, the best bet is to reset the printer and start from the beginning.
Ensure the label path is cleaned of any debris and the printer is properly loaded with media. Close the printer firmly until it clicks the latch closed. Next, with the power turned off at the switch in the back of the printer, hold the feed button and turn the power back on. The feed button should flash red under your finger. Release the feed button after the button has flashed red at least 2 times. The printer will then go through a short calibration process and print a configuration page. After the configuration page prints, press the feed button one more time and the printer will then be ready.
Check for calibration by pressing the feed button one time. The printer should feed out one label at a time. If it still doesn’t cooperate then send it in to one of our trained professionals at BCTP for a free quote!
