24 rolls entered on hand.
Buy the roll that fits—and enough of it to stay open.
Match manufacturer media specifications to the exact printer model, then estimate monthly roll use from real transaction volume and receipt length.
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.
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.
26,400 printed inches including the waste allowance.
120 rolls and $300 over 12 months at the entered unit cost.
Lead-time demand plus 5 safety-stock rolls.
50 rolls per case, targeting one month beyond the reorder point.
Paper only, using the entered transaction and roll-cost assumptions.
Formula: transactions × open days × average printed inches × copies × waste allowance ÷ inches per roll, rounded up to whole rolls. Estimate excludes shipping, tax, case minimums, damaged stock, and printer-specific margins.

Start with the printing technology and workflow. Width alone is not enough to establish compatibility.
Direct thermal receipt paper
Uses heat-sensitive paper and no ink ribbon. Match width, maximum roll diameter, coating orientation, and any manufacturer media restrictions.
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.
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.
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.
