General Recommendation
Most common setup: DYMO 30256 (2 5/16" × 4")
Brother equivalent: DK-1202 (62 × 100 mm)
Always print in Landscape, at 100% scale, with no margins
This ensures labels print cleanly, securely attach, and are easy to scan during check-in.
FAQ
What if my label size isn’t available in the options?
Choose the closest match or create a custom size (59 × 101 mm for DYMO / 62 × 100 mm for Brother).
Why does my label print like it’s on A4 paper?
Double-check that the correct label roll is selected and that Landscape orientation is applied.
Do I need special software?
Yes. Use the DYMO Connect App (DYMO printers) or Brother iPrint&Label App (Brother printers) to manage settings and test print.
