One of the fascinating tools where I work is the receipt printer. Not so fascinating, you say? Well, think about this:
- It prints out customer receipts.
- It prints out store data on request.
- It prints out the opening and closing data.
There is a lot of information shooting out of it any time we need to view something. The whole system depends on those little printers to be available on demand.
We even have one in the kitchen area that is designed to take sticky-back printer paper so we can attach special requests to each order. All the printers take thermal paper, so there's no need for ink. I think it's a great advance!
