Select Printout Contrast Level

The payment terminals use thermal paper to print the transaction receipts. You can adjust the level of contrast for the transaction receipts if they are difficult to read. If you have a mobile or portable payment terminal, the contrast level can affect battery usage.

The following table shows examples of each printout contrast level:

Pale Normal Dark
Lightest printout (lowest contrast), prints faster and uses less battery Default printout setting, average printing speed and battery use Darkest printing (highest contrast), prints slower and uses more battery
