paper roll

Cylindrical paper supply

A paper roll is a continuous length of paper wound around a central core, used in everything from cash registers and adding machines to toilet paper holders and industrial printing presses.

The term emphasizes the rolled format rather than the paper's purpose: We need to replace the paper roll in the receipt printer.

Also called a roll of paper.
