This guide covers 2 1/4 receipt rolls, 2 1/4 x 50 thermal paper, and thermal sticker paper rolls, including compatibility with Clover debit machines.
What Are 2 1/4 Receipt Rolls?
2 1/4 receipt rolls refer to paper rolls with a width of 2¼ inches (about 57 mm), commonly used in small POS systems, handheld debit machines, and mobile printers. They are compact, easy to replace, and ideal for low-to-medium print volume businesses.
Understanding 2 1/4 x 50 Thermal Paper
The term 2 1/4 x 50 thermal paper means the paper is 2¼ inches wide and 50 feet long. This size is popular for devices that need longer printing capacity without frequent roll changes.
- Advantages: Clear print quality, no ink or ribbon required, low maintenance.
- Things to Check: Roll diameter and core size to ensure it fits your machine (such as certain Clover, Square, or Moneris models).
What Is a Thermal Sticker Paper Roll?
A thermal sticker paper roll is a thermal paper roll with adhesive backing, perfect for labels, shipping slips, price tags, and inventory management. It offers fast printing combined with easy peel-and-stick convenience.
Debit Machine Paper Roll Compatibility (Including Clover)
When buying debit machine paper rolls, always check your machine’s paper width, roll length, and core diameter. Many Clover devices, as well as other debit terminals, work best with BPA-free 2 1/4 thermal rolls for crisp, smudge-free receipts.
Buying Tips
- Choose BPA-free thermal paper for better safety and eco-friendliness.
- Stock up in bulk to lower cost per roll and avoid running out during busy hours.
- Store rolls in a cool, dry place to prevent fading and curling.
