Its probably not static. 1. Wipe the print head and platen roller with alcohol dampened qtip or lint free cloth. Print about 30 labels while gently pressing on the ribbon supply, causing it to drag a little and observe if the wrinkles stop. If so tighten the nut on the end of the ribbon supply a little at a time until wrinkles disappear. Check the head pressure toggles on top of the print head and make sure they are adjusted about the same. If you have been printing a lot of the same size labels, check the platen roller (white) at the point where the right edge of the label rides on it for a slight offset where the roller is worn down. If it is worn, the only fix is to replace the platen roller.
yes its very much related to the back feed settings.the setting is got misaligned.so its printing but the print is getting at bit bottom of the label.i suggest you to reset all the settings , like how to set the printer when you receive it new.then check out.if still the same problem then its the problem of label feeder gears .the gears are bit worn out.so the speed of label to pass is got bit less.

The software then will generate a bar code and assign it to your individual products allowing them to be scanned for inventory and checkout purpose. You can find labels here: Labeldomain com
If your Zebra LP 2844 printer is experiencing shifting or off-center printing, there are a few possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check print settings: Ensure that the print settings on your computer or label design software are correctly configured for the label size and layout you are using. Make sure the label dimensions and print margins are set accurately.
Calibrate the printer: Perform a calibration on the printer to ensure it is properly aligned. To calibrate the Zebra LP 2844, follow these steps:
a. Turn off the printer. b. Hold down the feed button. c. While holding the feed button, turn on the printer. d. Release the feed button once the green status light begins to flash. e. The printer will feed labels and automatically adjust the label alignment. f. Once the printer stops feeding labels, the calibration is complete.
Adjust label position sensors: The LP 2844 has label position sensors that detect the start of each label. If these sensors are misaligned or dirty, it can cause shifting or off-center printing. Clean the sensors using a lint-free cloth and ensure they are properly aligned.
Check label alignment: Ensure that the labels are loaded correctly and aligned properly in the printer. Make sure they are inserted straight and centered in the label guides.
Inspect the print head: Check the print head for any debris, adhesive residue, or damage. Clean the print head with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab if necessary. A dirty or damaged print head can affect print quality and alignment.
Update or reinstall printer drivers: Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. If the drivers are outdated or corrupted, it can cause printing issues. Visit the Zebra website and download the appropriate drivers for your LP 2844 model.
Test with different labels or ribbons: If the problem persists, try using different labels or ribbons. Sometimes, the issue could be related to the specific media being used.
One possible reason for this issue could be a problem with the printer's ribbon sensor. The ribbon sensor is responsible for detecting the presence of a ribbon and ensuring that it is properly aligned. If the sensor is not functioning correctly, it may cause the printer to throw a mechanical error and check the ribbon whenever the card reservoir lid is opened.
Another possible cause of this issue could be a problem with the printer's motor or drive system. If there is an issue with these components, it may cause the printer to stall or throw an error message when attempting to print.
To resolve this issue, it may be necessary to perform some troubleshooting steps. First, try cleaning the printer's sensors and rollers to ensure that they are free from debris or dust. Additionally, check to make sure that the ribbon is properly loaded and aligned in the printer.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact Zebra technical support for further assistance.
