Till rolls, also known as receipt rolls or cash register rolls, are rolls of paper used in point-of-sale (POS) systems to print receipts for transactions. These rolls are typically made of thermal paper, which is coated with a chemical that reacts to heat, allowing for printing without the need for ink or toner. Till rolls come in various sizes and lengths, depending on the type of POS system and the printer being used. The use of till rolls has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more businesses have adopted electronic payment systems. The rolls are designed to fit into the printer of the POS system, and are typically loaded into the printer by the cashier or store clerk. When a transaction is completed, the POS system sends a signal to the printer, which then prints out a receipt on the till roll. Till rolls are an essential component of any POS system, as they provide a record of transactions that can be used for accounting and inventory purposes. They also provide customers with a record of their purchase, which can be used for returns or exchanges. While till rolls are typically used in retail settings, they can also be found in other industries, such as restaurants and hotels.
