Technology and feed format must agree
A roll shape does not tell you whether the coating reacts directly to heat or requires a ribbon. Nor does the word “tape” prove that a cassette fits a particular bay. Start with the manufacturer’s media family and exact model, then compare dimensions and application needs.
Use the right route through the evidence
- For a Brother cassette, open the TZe tape guide and verify the exact SKU.
- For a Brother label roll, compare DK continuous and die-cut formats.
- For DYMO, verify the LabelWriter generation and recognition rules.
- For Zebra, use the configuration-specific media requirements.
- For Rollo, check direct thermal paper and feed guidance.
