Printers

Works with the printers you already have

We don’t sell printers or paper. Pick up labels and stock from your usual supplier — Truss Tape Plus handles calibration and print.

Works with the printers crews already use: Zebra desktop label printers, Brother QL label printers (QL-1100 over USB; QL-820NWB and QL-1110NWB over Ethernet), and any laser printer with Avery sheets. For hang tapes, we recommend the Epson TM-T20IV or TM-T20III Ethernet model (Ethernet is a separate SKU from USB-only units).

Zebra desktop label printers

For die-cut fixture, cable, and position labels. Calibrate once per printer and roll so marks stay honest.

Brother QL

  • QL-1100 — USB on the computer running the app.
  • QL-820NWB and QL-1110NWB — Ethernet on your local network.

Laser printer + Avery sheets

Print paperwork and sheet labels on stock you already buy. Use the alignment test page when you start mid-sheet.

Epson TM-T20IV / TM-T20III (Ethernet model) — hang tapes

  • Connect the printer to your network with an Ethernet cable, and Truss Tape Plus finds it for you.
  • Standard 80 mm receipt rolls. Gaff the tape to the truss — it is not adhesive stock.
  • A steel tape for day-one calibration: print a short strip, measure it, apply the factor. Per printer and per roll of stock.

IT note: network receipt printers often listen on TCP port 9100. Truss Tape Plus discovers printers on your network; you should not need to type an IP address for normal setup.

Built for 1:1 with per-printer calibration and an on-tape verification ruler.
