Receipt tape. Receipt (cash) tape for cash registers

Terminology

Tape for cash registers in professional circles is usually called receipt tape, less often cash tape. Tapes differ in the number of layers, printing method, tape width, outer diameter of the roller (or length of the tape) and inner diameter of the sleeve.

• Single-layer tape - consists of one layer of offset paper.
• A group under the general name multilayer tape:

1. Multilayer = two-layer - consists of one layer of offset paper and a second self-copying layer.
2. Dual-active = capillary - consists of two self-copying layers.

• Single-active - consists of one active layer, the image on which appears under mechanical impact.
• Thermal tape = thermochemical tape - consists of one layer of thermal paper, the image on which appears under the influence of temperature.

Single-layer receipt tape.

Designation:<ширина>X<диаметр втулки>X<диаметр ролика>- for example 57x12x60. The tape consists of one layer of paper. The raw material for the production of tape is offset paper with a density of 60-65 g/m and a whiteness of 90 - 96% according to ISO. There are 6 tape widths available - 37, 40, 44, 57, 69 and 76 mm. Tape rollers of the same width differ in outer diameters, which can be from 54 to 70 mm, and in the inner diameters of the sleeve - 12 or 18 mm. Each model cash register can use a tape of a certain width and in a roller, which in diameter fits in the space allocated for it. The diameter of the bushing is also important - only Samsung cash register machines can use rollers with 12 and 18 mm bushings, since they have a conical pin for the roller. A prerequisite is to apply a colored (usually red) stripe on the last 5 meters of the tape. The appearance of a tape with such a stripe at the exit of the cash register indicates that the tape will soon run out and it’s time to change the roller.

Multilayer, also known as double-layer tape.

Designation<ширина> <(1+1)> <диаметр ролика>- for example 57(1+1)54 or<ширина>(1+A)<диаметр ролика>- 57(1+A)54. It consists of two layers, the image on which is applied by one KKM printing unit. Upper layer the buyer receives, and the bottom one remains in the cash register. The top layer is made of high-quality offset paper with a density of 55-60 g/m, and the bottom layer is made of special paper with a self-copying layer consisting of microgranules, which burst under the pressure of the printing unit (cartridge) of the KKM and form an imprint. The tape is produced in widths of 44, 57 and 76, less often 69 mm and with an outer roller diameter from 54 to 70 mm. The sleeve is used with only one internal diameter - 12 mm.

Dual-active, also known as capillary tape.

Designation<ширина>(1+1)<диаметр ролика>Act 2 - for example 57(1+1)54 2 act or<ширина>(A+A)<диаметр ролика>- 57(A+A)54. Consists of two layers of paper with a self-copying coating. It is used in cash registers without a cartridge, often used when operating cash registers with low temperatures, when the ink cartridges freeze, or when replacing a cartridge is more expensive than using dual-active tape. The tape is available in widths of 44, 57 and 76 mm. At first glance, the tape has a “dirty” appearance, since during transportation, fingerprints remain on the top self-copying layer in the places where the rollers come into contact with each other.

Single active tape.

Designation<ширина>(1+0)<диаметр ролика>, for example 57(1+0)54 or<ширина>(A+0)<диаметр ролика>- 57(A+0)54. Consists of one self-copying layer. The tape is used in cash registers without a cartridge, in the same cases as dual-active tape. It is used on Samsung printers, since it is often cheaper to work on a single-active tape than to buy expensive cartridges, which are of poor quality.

Thermal tape, also known as thermochemical tape.

Designation<ширина>X<диаметр втулки>X<длина ленты>TR - 44x12x40TR. Unlike the designation of other tapes, thermal tape does not indicate the diameter of the roller, but the length of the tape. The tape consists of a single layer of paper coated with a thermoactive coating. The paper used is the same as for the production of fax rollers. The belt width is mainly 44 and 57 mm, but there are rollers with a width of 80 mm. Density paper base from 55 to 58 g/m2, and sometimes there are manufacturers who wind rollers from thermal paper of higher density, which makes the rollers visually look larger with the same or even shorter tape length. IN Lately Many unscrupulous manufacturers have appeared who do not wind up the rollers - there is less tape in the roller (usually 1.5 - 3 m) than indicated in the designation.

Receipt or cash tape is designed specifically for printing cash receipts. It is selected in accordance with the characteristics of the cash register (each machine model can only work with a tape with certain parameters).

The cash register tape is selected according to the following parameters:

• printing method (offset, thermal printing, capillary method);
• number of layers (one or two);
• dimensions (sleeve diameter, width and length of the tape, diameter of the entire roller with tape).

Currently, several main types of receipt tape are used.

1. Single layer offset printing

For its production, the Business Pack company uses offset paper. Its whiteness ranges from 90 to 96% ISO, density - from 60 to 65 g/m. The width of the paper can be different (from 37 to 76 mm). The outer diameter of the roller can be from 54 to 70 mm. The inner diameter of the sleeve is 12 or 18 mm. A colored stripe is applied to the last 5 m of such paper in each roll. Its appearance on printed receipts indicates that the roller will soon run out and will need to be replaced.

2. Single layer for capillary printing

Used on equipment not equipped with ink cartridges. Can be used in low temperature conditions, where conventional cartridges freeze (in cold warehouses, on outdoors V winter time). It has one self-copying layer consisting of microgranules with ink. Printing is done mechanically. The width can be 57 or 44 mm.

3. Double-layer receipt tapes

They can be either paper or capillary. main feature— the presence of two layers of paper, printing on which is performed simultaneously. As a result, each check is created in two copies. One is given to the client, the second (copy) remains for the accounting department.

If the top layer is made of plain paper, printing is done using the offset method. If it is made of capillary paper, it is used mechanical method. The bottom layer is self-copying and is made of capillary paper.

Both checks (original and copy) are printed using the same unit cash register equipment. In this case, the check for the client is fed into the slot of the cash register outward, and its copy is rolled up into a roller. Copies are not torn off, the integrity of the duplicating tape is maintained. This simplifies the storage of receipts and subsequent work with them.

4. Thermal tape

Thermal tape is one of the most common types of receipt tapes. It is used for the following equipment:

• cash registers;
• payment terminals, ATMs, self-service terminals;
• fax equipment;
• some medical equipment, etc.

For production, paper with a special thermal layer is used. Printing is carried out using local heating - as a result of it, the thermal layer changes its color. Due to this, equipment using thermal paper does not require cartridges or other consumables. The information applied is stored on the receipt for a long time. So, although the ink may fade and fade, printing on thermal paper remains clear and the information is readable.

The only thing that a receipt printed on thermal tape is “afraid of” is strong heating. With it, the entire heated surface can be painted.

The selection of thermal tape is carried out in accordance with the width and length of its blade, as well as the internal diameter of the sleeve. The base paper can have a density from 55 to 58 g/m2.

One of the main quality indicators for thermal paper is the density of the thermal coating. The optimal indicator is considered to be a density of 55 g/m2. This ensures high-quality printing and the longest possible operation of the heating head of the equipment.

Thermal tape can be produced with a pattern pre-applied on its reverse side. Many retail chains, as well as networks of self-service terminals, use this opportunity to display advertising, contact information, and other information.

It is important to note that the thermal coating of thermal paper contains a potentially hazardous substance. For this reason, information periodically appears that the use of thermal tape allegedly poses a risk to human health. This is not true - the amount of toxin is so low that even for cashiers who constantly work with thermal paper, there is no health hazard at all.

Thus, thermal tape is one of the most convenient, economical and at the same time safe options. Today, a wide range of cash register equipment using thermal paper is produced, including affordable models. Such equipment can be used in any conditions, including at low temperatures - thermal paper retains all its properties.

The Business Pack company produces all types of cash register tapes described above. From us you can buy a receipt tape of the required type and required sizes. Possible to work with individual orders. By contacting Business Pack, you receive consumables for cash register machines from the manufacturer. The price of the receipt tape is not the only advantage - we work quickly and with a quality guarantee!

The first receipt tape was invented in 1879 in Ohio, when the first cash register was developed. In Russia, the use of cash register machines and, accordingly, receipt tapes began to be introduced with late XIX century. Over time, both the equipment itself and its consumables have been modernized. To this day, cash register models and receipt tape production continue to improve. The quality of a receipt tape depends on the type of paper used to make it. It should be thick enough, snow-white paper, to absorb paint well, so that after printing the applied information does not smear.

Now receipt tapes are issued in various types. They are single-layer and double-layer, active, dual-active and thermal. Each of these tapes can have various sizes, so any of them can be selected depending on the parameters of a specific cash register model.

SINGLE LAYER RECEIPT TAPE

Single-layer receipt tape is made from offset paper with a whiteness level of 96-100%, or from writing paper with a whiteness of 92-94%. This tape is a narrow sheet rolled into a roll and has only one paper layer. The most commonly used rolls are widths from 37 to 76 mm. You can select rollers by the outer or inner diameter of the bushing. The outer diameter is usually between 54 and 77 mm, and the inner diameter is 12 or 18 mm. These parameters are selected strictly in accordance with the requirements of the cash register, since the winding can be completely different, up to half a meter in diameter. The diameter of the sleeve plays an important role when choosing a tape. For example, some KKM models are equipped with a conical pin for installing a roller, so they require rolls with a sleeve from 12 to 18 mm. Single-layer receipt tape is easy to use; for example, a red stripe is applied on the last five meters of the tape, which will signal that the receipt tape is running out and the roller needs to be changed.

MULTILAYER RECEIPT TAPE
Multi-layer or two-layer receipt tape is roll material, which includes two layers - offset and capillary. The latter is made from self-copying capillary paper. The peculiarity of this type of tape is that printing is performed simultaneously on two layers. When printing on the top layer, the same print is formed on the bottom as a result of impacts from the print head. One part of the check (top) is given to the buyer, and the other (bottom) remains in the cash register. How does the image appear on the bottom layer of the receipt tape? The composition of the bottom layer includes microbeads that burst under the pressure of the print head and, thus, leave a print. In this case, the top layer of offset paper must have a density of 55-60 g/m2 so as not to be damaged during printing.

DOUBLE-ACTIVE RECEIPT TAPE
Dual-active receipt tape does not require the use of a cartridge, which is its main advantage over single-layer tape, since if printing is performed at low temperatures, the ink in the cartridges may freeze, which will require their replacement. Thus, the cost of purchasing additional consumables for the cash register is reduced. The width of the two-layer receipt tape can be 44, 57 and 76 mm, and outside diameter roller from 54 to 70 mm.

ACTIVE RECEIPT TAPE
The active receipt tape was developed in the same year in which the first cash register appeared - in 1879. Over time, it has improved in terms of quality and has become more convenient to use. Now an active receipt tape is used as a fiscal document and is issued in the form of a check to customers, as confirmation of the purchase and purchase of goods. Before the last meters there is a red stripe on the belt, which warns the operator that replacement with a new cash register roller is required. The tape consists of several layers - a layer of SC capillary paper (therefore does not require the use of a cartridge), and a layer of offset paper. The top one is a check that is given to the buyer, and the bottom one remains in the hands of the operator. When printing, the bottom layer does not remain in the cash register, as is the case when using a single-layer receipt tape. The width of this type of tape can also vary from 37 to 76 mm.

You can order an active cash register tape of any required width and size from our company. different diameters bushings and rollers.

DOUBLE-ACTIVE RECEIPT TAPE
Dual-active receipt tape is standardly available in widths of 44 mm, 57 mm and 76 mm. This type of tape, like double-layer cash register tape, is multi-layered - it includes a self-copying and paper layer. It can be used when printing in low temperature environments. In this case, the use of a cartridge is not required. Our company offers high-quality dual-active cash register tape that does not darken or tear throughout its entire service life. The image on it is formed due to the mechanical action of the hot print head of the printer. The consumables It is economically beneficial because it does not require the use of ink cartridges for printing. As in previous cases, the top layer of the tape is given as a receipt to the buyer, and the bottom layer remains in the cash register. Closer to the end of the tape, a red stripe is applied, by which the operator determines that the consumable material is running low and the roll needs to be replaced.

RECEIPT THERMAL TAPE
, or thermochemical receipt tape is made of offset paper, the surface of which is sensitive to heat. When heated, such paper changes its color (turns black) - the principle of thermal printing is based on this. The heated print head of the printer exerts a thermal point effect, thus forming on the receipt necessary information. However, these properties of thermoactive tape also cause its disadvantage. Printed check documents quickly lose their original appearance when exposed to ultraviolet rays and heat. Thermal tape is simple and easy to use, as well as cost-effective, since printing on it does not require the use of cartridges or ink ribbons. Its use eliminates clogging of the printer mechanisms, since the ribbon does not contain paper dust. The standard width of thermochemical cash register tape is 44 mm, 57 mm and 80 mm. The assortment includes tape with different winding lengths, so you can easily purchase a roll that is suitable in size for your cash register or printer.

Thermal tape supplied by our company is made from high-quality paper, which is white, high density and smoothness. Based on similar thermal materials, not only cash register tape is made, but also labels for marking goods, roller tapes for installation in ATMs, telexes, faxes and other equipment that supports thermal printing technology. Despite its specific properties, which require special storage conditions, this type receipt tape has become widespread in the field of trade and customer service around the world.

Happens:

1. two-layer - consists of one layer of offset paper and a second self-copying layer,
2. dual-active (capillary two-layer) - consists of two self-copying layers,
3. single-active (capillary single-layer) - consists of one active (self-copying) layer, the image on which appears under mechanical influence,
4. thermal tape (thermochemical tape) - consists of one layer of thermal paper, the image on which appears under the influence of temperature.

The main characteristics, in addition to technology, are the width, bushing diameter and roller diameter, indicated in the format, for example, “57 x 12 x 60”.

Single layer receipt tape

Single layer receipt tape consists of one layer of paper. The raw material for the production of tape is offset paper with a density of 60-65 g/m and a whiteness of 90 - 96% according to ISO. More than 10 tape widths are available - 37 (least common), 40 (more common), 44, 57, 69, 76, 80 mm. Belt rollers of the same width differ in outer diameters, which can vary from 25 to 250 mm, and in the inner diameters of the sleeve - 12, 18 or 26 mm. Each cash register model can use a tape of a certain width (there are models that work with several sizes) and a certain roller diameter. The diameter of the bushing is also important - only Samsung cash register machines can use rollers with 12 and 18 mm bushings, since they have a conical pin for the roller.

A prerequisite is to apply a colored (usually red) stripe on the last 5 meters of the tape. The appearance of a tape with such a stripe at the exit of the cash register indicates that the tape will soon run out and it’s time to replace the receipt tape roller.

Double layer receipt tape

Double layer receipt tape consists of two layers, the image on which is applied by one KKM printing unit. The top layer is received by the buyer, and the bottom remains in the cash register. The top layer is made of high-quality offset paper with a density of 55-60 g/m, and the bottom layer is made of special paper with a self-copying layer consisting of microgranules, which burst under the pressure of the printing unit (cartridge) of the KKM and form an imprint. The tape is produced in widths of 44, 57 and 76, less often 69 mm and with an outer roller diameter from 54 to 70 mm. The sleeve is used with only one internal diameter - 12 mm.

Capillary double layer tape

Capillary double-layer tape consists of two layers of paper with a self-copying coating. It is used in cash registers without a cartridge; it is often used when the cash register operates at low temperatures, when the ink of the cartridges freezes, or when it is inappropriate to use an ink cartridge. The tape is available in widths of 44, 57 and 76 mm. At first glance, the tape has a “dirty” appearance, since during transportation, fingerprints remain on the top self-copying layer in the places where the rollers come into contact with each other.

Capillary single layer tape

Capillary single-layer (single-active) receipt tape consists of one self-copying layer. The tape is used in cash registers without a cartridge, in the same cases as dual-active tape. Used on Samsung POS printers, since it is often cheaper to work on a single-active tape than to buy expensive cartridges. The tape is available in widths of 44 and 57, 76 mm.

Thermal tape (thermochemical receipt tape)

Unlike the designation of other types of receipt tapes, thermal tape does not indicate the diameter of the roller, but the length of the tape, but it often happens that many indicate the diameter. This sometimes results in order inaccuracies from customers.

Thermal tape

Thermal tape consists of one layer of paper with a thermoactive coating applied to it. The paper used is the same as for the production of fax rollers.

Tape width is 44, 57 and 80 mm, paper base density is from 55 to 58 g/m. sq.

Our company policy is to sell only quality products. We do not sell receipt tape made from recycled materials or low-quality offset grades, when the receipt tape turns out gray, easily torn and very dusty. Such a receipt tape quickly clogs the mechanical and printing components of the cash register. Our company offers single-layer offset paper tape from the Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill and the Kotlas Pulp and Paper Mill. Double-layer, capillary and thermal tape sold by our company are made from paper from the famous German company Kohler.

How to choose a receipt tape

The type of receipt tape is indicated in technical documentation To cash register equipment. In order to help you select the required receipt tape, you need to know the full brand of cash register, as well as possible changes in its characteristics after modernization. If the printing unit has been replaced, the receipt tape standard for this cash register model may not be suitable. In this case, you should seek advice from the service center where the KKM repair was carried out. The simplest and reliable way- measure the width of the receipt tape already used in cash register technology and remember this type.
