Printing a 2.25 in label on Zebra LP2824. Prints

It sounds like they are in backwards or on the wrong side of the thermal printhead.

flashing red for zebra lp2824plus

Always check to make sure the printer is advancing one label at a time by itself before printing. If it does then you know the printer has a good read on the label size. Then if it misaligns when printing then you know the problem is in the printer driver because the printer is only going to do what it's told to do.

So best is to turn printer off, power up, press feed to see if one label feeds ok. If the label feed is off at this point then the printer needs to be calibrated which is done by pressing and holding FEED while turning the printer on.

Hope that helps !

Calibrate the media that is in the printer. Power the printer on while holding the feed key. When it flashed red, let go. It will calibrate, print a config label, then go into dump. Press the feed key again to exit dump. Once this is complete, your printer should advance only one label at a time when you press the feed key. If this is working as expected, but the labels are not printing right when you print from you application, there is a problem with your format or driver settings.

You have to calibrate the printer to solve this problem
Check following to solve this problem
1)Press the feed button and hold it for 1-2 seconds switching printer on.It will calibrate the labels.
2)Install Zebra Designer driver from CD.After installing Zebra designer Add printer Zebra Designer LP2824.After installing driver right Click the printer Zebra Designer LP2824 and go to printing preferences then select advanced option and calibrate printer.It will calibrate printer
3)Check the label size is properly set in printer or not.Label width and label height in printer settings should be same as label which you are using .

Sounds like you put your printer into line mode. Line mode prints code so you can see what is sent to the printer to look for possible mistakes in the code.

To switch from line mode back to page mode.

1. Turn printer off.
2. Press and hold the feed button down. And switch printer on.
3. Release the feed button when the LED flashes red.
4. When the LED flashes green, press down the feed button.
5. When the LED flashes amber release the feed button.
6. Try printing now that the printer is back in page mode which is used for print your labels; line mode prints the labels code.
7. Do this fast or else it wont work if you are slow.

I Use driver from Nice Labels
http://www.nicelabel.com/downloads/nicedrivers/zebra seems to work fine

If I remember correctly I corrected the same problem. What I did was opened printers and faxes and selected the printer. I then went into properties where you can select the size of label you are printing out. Once you do that the printer should align itself to the right size.

This appears to be normal operation.

can you give more info? it sounds like you driver is set to thermal transfer mode but you have a direct thermal printer (LP not TLP)
