receipt printer

Point-of-sale output

A receipt printer is a specialized printer designed to produce transaction records at point of sale.

Most use thermal printing on narrow paper rolls, creating the familiar curling slips from retail stores, restaurants, and ATMs.

The receipt printer jammed during the lunch rush.

Some models connect wirelessly to tablets or phones for mobile sales.
