Check tape. Check (cash) tape for cash registers

Terminology

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

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

1. Multi-layer = 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 action.
• Thermal tape = thermochemical tape - consists of a single layer of thermal paper, the image on which appears under the influence of temperature.

Single layer check tape.

Designation:<ширина>X<диаметр втулки>X<диаметр ролика>- for example 57x12x60. The tape consists of one layer of paper. Offset paper with a density of 60-65 g/m and a whiteness of 90-96% according to ISO is used as a raw material for the production of the tape. Available in 6 sizes of tape in width - 37, 40, 44, 57, 69 and 76 mm. Belt rollers of the same width differ in outer diameters, which can be from 54 to 70 mm, and inner diameters of the sleeve - 12 or 18 mm. Each model cash register can use a tape of a certain width in a roller, which is placed in the space allotted for it in diameter. The sleeve diameter is also important - only Samsung POS printers can use rollers with a 12 and 18 mm sleeve, as they have a tapered pin for the roller. A prerequisite is the application of 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 from the cash register indicates that the tape will soon run out and it is time to change the roller.

Multi-layer, it is also a two-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 CCM printing unit. Upper layer the buyer receives, and the lower 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, under pressure from the printing unit (cartridge) of the CCM, burst and form an imprint. The tape is produced with a width of 44, 57 and 76, less often 69 mm and an outer diameter of the roller from 54 to 70 mm. The sleeve is used only one inner diameter - 12 mm.

Two-active, it is also a capillary tape.

Designation<ширина>(1+1)<диаметр ролика>2 act. - 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-copy 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, prints remain on the upper self-copying layer at the points 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 finds use in cash registers without a cartridge, in the same cases as the dual-active tape. It is used on Samsung POS printers, since it is often cheaper to work on a single-active tape than to buy expensive cartridges that are of poor quality.

Thermal tape, it is also a thermochemical tape.

Designation<ширина>X<диаметр втулки>X<длина ленты>TR - 44x12x40TR. Unlike the designation of other tapes, the 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 thermosetting coating. The paper used is the same as for the production of fax rollers. The width of the tape 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 less tape length. AT recent times many unscrupulous manufacturers have appeared who do not wind the rollers - the tapes in the roller are smaller (usually 1.5 - 3 m) than indicated in the designation.

Receipt tape 57 mm- used in cash registers with basic dimensions: 57 x 10m x 12, 57x30x12, 57x40x12, 57 x 80m x 12; also used in payment terminals and ATMs: 57 x 160m x 12, 57 x 300m x 26 and others.

The popularity of the thermal tape of our production lies in the thickness of the thermal paper, which is much thinner than other tapes in density, which allows you to have a large footage in one roll, which is very important when working at the checkout and less often you have to change the roll in the cash register. Cash tape 57mm thermo today, one of the most common receipt tapes.

Another type of 57 mm cash register tape is self-copying. This is a receipt tape 57 mm wide, which is used in cash registers with and without cartridges. This tape is capillary - during pressure, the layer is activated and information is printed on the check. The capillary tape works in a cash register without a cartridge. Capillary check tape is single-layer 57(A+0)54x12 and double-layer 57(A+A)54x12. Also, there is a two-layer with an upper active layer and is marked 57 (A + 1) 54x12.

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

The cash tape is selected according to the following parameters:

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

Currently, several main types of check tape are used.

1. Single layer offset printing

For its production, the company "Business Pack" uses offset paper. Its whiteness is from 90 to 96% ISO, density - from 60 to 65 g/m. Paper width 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. On the last 5 m of such paper in each roller, a colored strip is applied. Its appearance on printed receipts indicates that the roller will soon end and will need to be replaced.

2. Single layer for capillary printing

It is used on equipment that is not equipped with ink cartridges. Can be used at low temperatures, where conventional cartridges freeze (in cold stores, outdoors in 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 check tapes

They can be both paper and 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 transferred to the client, the second (copy) remains for accounting.

If the top layer is made of plain paper, printing is done by offset printing. If it is made of capillary paper, apply mechanical way. The bottom layer is self-copying and is made of capillary paper.

Printing of both checks (original and copy) is performed by the same node cash register equipment. In this case, the check for the client is fed into the slot of the cash register outside, and its copy is rolled up into a roller. Copies are not torn off, the integrity of the duplicating tape is preserved. This simplifies the storage of checks 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;
• facsimile 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 need cartridges and other consumables. The printed information is stored on the check for a long time. So, if the ink can burn out and fade, printing on thermal paper remains clear, and the information is readable.

The only thing that the check printed on thermal tape is “afraid of” is strong heat. 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 web, as well as the inner diameter of the sleeve. The base paper may have a weight of 55 to 58 g/m 2 .

One of the main indicators of quality for thermal paper is the density of the thermal coating. The optimal indicator is a density of 55 g / m 2. 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 previously applied to its reverse side. Many retail chains, as well as networks of self-service terminals use this opportunity to display advertising, contact details, and other information.

It is important to note that the composition of the thermal coating of thermal paper contains a potentially hazardous substance. For this reason, information periodically appears that the use of thermal tape allegedly carries 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 registers 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 company "Business Pack" produces all the types of cash registers described above. You can buy a check tape of the required type from us and the right sizes. Possible to work with individual orders. Turning to "Business Pack", you get consumables for KKM from the manufacturer. The price of a check tape is not the only advantage - we work quickly and with a quality guarantee!

The first check tape was invented in 1879 in Ohio when the first cash register was developed. In Russia, the use of cash registers and, accordingly, check tapes began to be introduced from late XIX century. Over time, both the equipment itself and consumables for it were modernized. Until now, models of cash registers and the production of check tapes 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, absorb ink well, so that after printing the printed information is not smeared.

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

SINGLE LAYER RECEIPT TAPE

A 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%. Such a tape is a narrow sheet rolled up and has only one paper layer. The most commonly used rolls are 37 to 76 mm wide. You can choose rollers by the outer or inner diameter of the sleeve. The outer diameter is usually 54 to 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. Sleeve diameter plays an important role in belt selection. For example, some models of KKM are equipped with a tapered pin for installing a roller, so they require rolls with a sleeve from 12 to 18 mm. A single-layer receipt tape is convenient 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 it is necessary to change the roller.

MULTILAYER RECEIPT TAPE
Multi-layer, or two-layer check tape is a roll material, which includes two layers - offset and capillary. The latter is made of 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 impression is formed on the bottom layer as a result of the impacts of 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 an imprint. In this case, the top layer of offset paper should have a density of 55-60 g/m, so as not to be damaged during printing.

TWO-ACTIVE RECEIPT TAPE
A dual-active receipt ribbon does not require a cartridge, which is its main advantage compared to a single-layer ribbon, since if printing is performed at low temperatures, the ink in the cartridges may freeze, requiring them to be replaced. Thus, the cost of purchasing additional consumables for cash registers is reduced. The width of the two-layer check tape can be 44, 57 and 76 mm, and outside diameter roller from 54 to 70 mm.

ACTIVE RECEPTION TAPE
The active check tape was developed in the same year in which the first cash register appeared - in 1879. Over time, it improved in terms of quality and became more convenient to use. Now an active check 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 strip on the tape, which warns the operator that a replacement with a new cash register 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 in the case of using a single-layer check tape. The width of this type of tape can also vary from 37 to 76 mm.

You can order in our company a cash register active tape of any required width and with various diameters bushings and rollers.

TWO-ACTIVE RECEIPT TAPE
Double-active check tape is standardly available in widths of 44 mm, 57 mm and 76 mm. This type of tape, as well as a two-layer cash register tape, is multilayer - it includes a self-copying and paper layer. It can be used when printing under low temperature conditions. This does not require the use of a cartridge. Our company offers high-quality double-active cash register tape, which does not darken and does not tear during the entire period of operation. The image on it is formed due to the mechanical action of the hot print head of the printer. The consumable economically advantageous in that it does not require the use of ink cartridges for printing. As in the previous cases, the top layer of the tape is given as a receipt to the customer, while the bottom layer remains in the cash register. A red stripe is applied near the end of the ribbon, by which the operator determines that the consumable is 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 (blackens) - the principle of thermal printing is based on this. The heated print head of the printer has a thermal dot effect, thus forming on the check necessary information. However, these properties of the thermoactive tape also cause its disadvantage. Printed check documents quickly lose their original appearance when exposed to ultraviolet rays and heat. Thermal ribbon is simple and easy to use, as well as economical because it does not require the use of cartridges or ink ribbons to print on it. Its use eliminates clogging of the printer mechanisms, since the ribbon does not contain paper dust. The width of the thermochemical cash tape is standardly 44 mm, 57 mm and 80 mm. The range includes tape with different winding lengths, so you can easily purchase a roll that is suitable in size for your printer or printer.

The thermal tape supplied by our company is made of high quality paper, which is characterized by whiteness, high density and smoothness. Based on similar thermal materials, not only cash registers are produced, but also labels for marking goods, roller tapes for installation in ATMs, telexes, fax machines and other equipment that supports thermal printing technology. Despite their specific properties, which require special storage conditions, this species check tape has become widespread in the field of trade and customer service around the world.

It happens:

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

The main, in addition to technology, characteristics are the width, diameter of the sleeve and the diameter of the roller, 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. Offset paper with a density of 60-65 g/m and a whiteness of 90-96% according to ISO is used as a raw material for the production of the tape. More than 10 sizes of tape are produced in width - 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 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 sleeve diameter is also important - only Samsung POS printers can use rollers with a 12 and 18 mm sleeve, as they have a tapered pin for the roller.

A prerequisite is the application of a colored (usually red) stripe on the last 5 meters of the tape. The appearance of a tape with such a stripe at the outlet of the cash register indicates that the tape will soon run out and it is 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 CCM printing unit. The top layer is received by the buyer, while the bottom layer 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, under pressure from the printing unit (cartridge) of the CCM, burst and form an imprint. The tape is produced with a width of 44, 57 and 76, less often 69 mm and an outer diameter of the roller from 54 to 70 mm. The sleeve is used only one inner diameter - 12 mm.

Capillary Double Layer Tape

The capillary two-layer tape consists of two layers of paper with a self-copy coating. It is used in cash registers without a cartridge, often used when the cash register is operating at low temperatures, when the ink of the cartridges freezes, or when it is inappropriate to use a coloring 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, prints remain on the upper self-copying layer at the points 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 finds use in cash registers without a cartridge, in the same cases as the dual-active tape. Used on Samsung POS printers, as it is often cheaper to work with a single-active tape than to buy expensive cartridges. The tape is produced in widths of 44 and 57.76 mm.

Thermal tape (thermochemical receipt tape)

Unlike the designation of other types of receipt tapes, the 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 a single layer of paper coated with a thermosetting coating. The paper used is the same as for the production of fax rollers.

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

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

How to choose a check tape

The type of receipt tape is indicated in technical documentation to cash register equipment. In order to help you choose the necessary check tape, you need to know the full brand of KKM, as well as possible changes in its characteristics after modernization. If the printing unit has been replaced, it is possible that the standard receipt tape for this POS printer model will not work. In this case, you should seek advice from the TsTO, in which the KKM was repaired. The simplest and reliable way- measure the width of the receipt tape already used in cash registers and remember this type.
