Steve, I have used the Zebra TLP 2844 for many years, my tag size is 2.25x1.75(hangtags) and Code128. When I click on the barcode it actually shows no font. Just a thought, is the LP2824 a thermal transfer? I use only thermal transfer which are permanent while direct thermal will blacken with heat and/or direct light, especially sunshine
