Setting up your Rollo printer on Windows

First tip: Use Google Chrome!

  • Google Chrome Works Best: We recommend Chrome because it has the best PDF support out of any browser, so that you can print right from the label preview.​

Here's how to set up a Rollo Printer on Windows + Chrome:

A quick summary of getting set up:

  1. Download and install the Rollo printer drivers from RolloPrinter.com

  2. Add the Rollo to your Printers & Scanners System Preferences

  3. Configure the default printer settings

Step 1: Download and Install the Rollo Printer Driver

  • Download the Rollo driver from RolloPrinter.com. The driver software titled "Rollo-Windows-Latest" will download.

  • Extract the files.

For the application to run properly, it is recommended that you first extract all file.' Under that message, you will need to click the option that says 'Extract all.'

  • Follow the Installer steps:

  • Plug your Rollo printer into a power source and connect to your computer via USB.

Step 2: Add the printer to your Devices and Printers Control Panel

  • Go to the View Devices and Printers section of your computer's Control Panel.

    • Check out this article on the Microsoft help site if you have trouble locating your Control Panel.

  • Click Add a Printer and select your Rollo printer from the list of connected printers that appear.

Step 3: Configure the default printer settings

  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers. The Rollo should show up in the Devices & Printers section.

  • Right-click it and choose Printing Preferences:

  • Pro Tip: If the printer shows up as USB Printing Support under Unspecified, and the driver won't install, try restarting your computer to make it show up as "Rollo Printer."

  • Click "Advanced..." on the lower right-hand side of the Printing Preferences pop-up page.

A screenshot showing the Printing Preferences pop up. In the bottom right corner of this pop up window, you will need to click a button that says 'Advanced...'

 

  • Select 100mm x 150mm in the Paper Size section:

  • Click OK and your labels are ready to print!

Follow these same steps for other brands of printers

  • Using Printers Other than Rollo: Several other brands make 4x6" label printers similar to the Rollo. Following these same steps will work to set these printers up with your Windows operating system.
