You are setting up a thermal printer for a cash register at a new retail location. The vendor has provided you with several rolls of paper. To ensure proper operation and print quality, what characteristic of the paper should you confirm before loading it into the printer?
The paper is made of heavyweight stock for durability
The paper is matte-finished to reduce glare
The paper is coated to react to heat
The paper is pre-printed with watermarks for security
Thermal printers require specially coated paper that is heat-sensitive to produce an image. Utilizing non-thermal paper will not produce an image when heat is applied by the thermal print head, as the coating on thermal paper is what reacts to the heat to create the visible print.
