Supplies

If you use lower grade (non Grade A) rolls, dust from the paper will build up and will eventually cause the printer to jam/malfunction. By using Grade A paper rolls in your equipment you will avoid many of the printer malfunctions and will prolong its life.

Single Ply (1 Ply)

The traditional type of till roll consisting of a single sheet of paper.

2 & 3 Ply

Consists of 2/3 sheets of paper. These rolls have a coating of micro capsules on either the front or back of the paper. The 3 ply variety has the coating on both sides of the second copy. In order to produce an image on the top copy, a ribbon is required in the printer

Action

Enables the print to be carried through to multiple layers of your till receipts without using a ribbon. The paper is covered with a micro capsule coating which forms an image when you apply pressure to it, thereby bursting the micro capsules.

Thermal

This is heat sensitive paper. These are used in machines with a thermal print head. It is only one ply paper and has a shiny, smooth surface.
