The Zebra Technologies TLP 2824 printer is a direct thermal and thermal transfer bar code label printer that you can use for retail and other label applications. It is primarily used to print mailing labels and other specialty documents. But that doesn't mean you can't use the TLP 2824 to print other types of documents as well. With a few changes, you can print Excel spreadsheets, charts and other types of documents on the Zebra TLP 2824.
Step 1
Load the TLP 2824 with the type of paper you want to use. You can use non-continuous media, which is perforated and cut to a specific length, or continuous media, which is a single width but can be any length. The type of media you should use depends on the size of the Excel document you need to print. If the document is longer than the label length, use continuous media.
