Usage and compatibility

Calculate quantity only after confirming the media.

The calculator estimates paper consumption; it does not determine compatibility. Use the finder to check paper type and physical limits, then verify the exact model suffix and current manufacturer manual before buying a case.

Receipt-roll usage calculator

Estimate rolls before ordering a case.

Use the actual length printed on the case listing. Roll diameter alone does not establish usable paper length, and starter rolls are often shorter than full replacements.

Three different supply jobs

Receipt paper, kitchen paper, and labels are not one category.

Start with the printing technology and workflow. Width alone is not enough to establish compatibility.

01

Direct thermal receipt paper

Uses heat-sensitive paper and no ink ribbon. Match width, maximum roll diameter, coating orientation, and any manufacturer media restrictions.

02

Impact kitchen paper and ribbons

Impact printers use plain paper plus a ribbon and may support multi-ply copies. Match the exact paper width, roll diameter, ribbon, and copy requirement.

03

Linerless and barcode labels

Adhesive, sensing method, liner, gap or mark, core, width, and printer configuration all matter. Similar-looking label stock is not automatically interchangeable.

Before ordering

Read all four numbers on the case.

Confirm width, roll diameter, roll length, and core size where the manufacturer specifies them. For labels, also confirm adhesive, liner or linerless format, sensing method, and whether the stock is direct thermal or requires a ribbon.
