3⅛" vs 2¼" Receipt Rolls — What Fits Your Setup
If you’re unsure whether to use 3⅛" or 2¼" thermal paper rolls, it comes down to your printer type and how much information you need on each receipt.
The 3⅛" (80 mm) rolls are wider, producing receipts that can include logos, barcodes, and full transaction details. They’re often used in retail checkout printers, restaurant systems, and POS stations that print itemized receipts.
The 2¼" (57 mm) rolls are narrower and designed for compact credit card terminals where portability and quick transactions are key. They save counter space and cost less per roll, making them the practical choice for smaller businesses.
If you’re unsure which roll your machine takes, remove the old one and measure its width — that’s your roll size. Also, check your printer’s user guide or look for a label inside the paper compartment.
For everyday business use, MilaMima offers both 3⅛" and 2¼" thermal paper rolls, all BPA-free, smooth-coated, and made to deliver clear, consistent prints. No matter your setup, you’ll get dependable performance and professional results.
