Measuring Rolls

The important measurements of a paper roll are noted below. Measuring your rolls will assure you determine the correct roll for your printer, and avoid incorrect ordering.

1. Measure Roll Width The width of the roll is measured going straight across the face of the paper. When looking at the paper receipt, measure across the top edge from left to right.

2. Measure Roll Diameter When measuring the diameter of the roll, you must measure from edge to edge; going straight across the center of the core.

3. Measure Core Diameters For machines that include a mounting spindle, the paper roll core must be large enough to fit your machine. Inside Core (Core I.D.) – Measure straight across the inside edges of the core. Outside Core (Core O.D) – Measure straight across the outside edges of the core.

If you have run out of paper and can’t measure your roll diameter, give us a call at 800-233-0222 and we will help you work out which roll you need. Please have your printer name and model details when you call.
