Dymo labels are widely used for various labeling needs, but if you own or plan to purchase a Rollo printer, you might wonder whether these labels are compatible. This article explores the compatibility between Dymo labels and Rollo printers, including the recognition methods used by each brand and which Dymo labels will or won’t work with Rollo.
Dymo printers detect labels using different methods depending on the region:
-
U.S. version: Recognizes labels using the gap sensing method.
-
European version: Uses gap + black mark sensing for label detection.
Since Dymo labels are designed for these recognition methods, their compatibility with other printers depends on whether the printer supports similar detection technology.
Rollo has released two label printers: Rollo Wireless and Rollo USB. Below is a comparison of their features:

For desktop label printers that feed labels externally, the main factors determining compatibility are printing technology and printing width.
Since both Dymo labels and Rollo printers use direct thermal printing, and Rollo printers support gap and black mark recognition, Dymo labels can generally be used with Rollo printers—provided that the label width falls within the supported range of 4cm (1.57") - 10.4cm (4.1").
Dymo Labels That Are NOT Compatible with Rollo Printers
Certain Dymo labels fall outside the supported width range and will not work with Rollo printers. These include:
· Dymo 30252 Compatible Address Labels (1-1/8" x 3-1/2")
· Dymo 30321 Compatible Large Address Labels (1-4/10" x 3-1/2")

While many Dymo labels are compatible with Rollo printers, it's important to check the label width before purchasing. If the width falls within the 4cm (1.57") - 10.4cm (4.1") range, your Dymo labels should work fine. However, labels that are too narrow will not be supported by Rollo printers.
