Vial Labeling: Tracking samples and specimens is efficient with the TLP 3844-Z. When a
specimen is taken, the vial is labeled and a corresponding label placed on the paperwork. The
vial label must contain vital data, such as patient identification, tests to be carried out, type of
sample, medical staff ID, site and time/date – all of which must be compacted into a tiny space.
The 300 dpi TLP 3844-Z is able to print sharp, clear human readable text and a high-density bar
code (such as Data Matrix or RSS-14) to contain all the necessary data.
The 3844-Z brings additional benefits to the healthcare industry, notably the ability to be
networked (via the optional internal ZebraNet PrintServer II) and remote administered using
ZebraLink as well as become a valuable shared printer resource – this is useful when multiple
users need to use and print data from medical database management systems.
The TLP 3844-Z design makes it very easy to use – loading media is easy, a very important
factor for busy medical personnel such as phlebotomists and administrators. The compact printer
fits on a countertop and takes up very little space in a congested laboratory work area.
Prescription bottle labeling: Pharmacies, both in retail and hospital settings use the 3844-Z to
print prescription bottle labels. A customer presents the prescription to the pharmacist, who
enters the details on to the computer system – a bar coded work order is generated and the
pharmacist goes to fill the prescription bottle from the stores. Using a hand-held scanner, the
pharmacist scans the bar code on the order, and a label containing customer details, the drug
name and instructions for taking the medication is printed on 3844-Z. The label is applied to the
prescription bottle.
