Develop Marketing and
Security for Added Revenue
For product promotions and holiday
specials, the A776 printer with
ReceiptWare can print logos, coupons, and
other “attention grabbing” features on
monochrome or two-color thermal paper.
For security against fraud, the A776 can
also print receipts with watermarks.
Multifunctional Printer
The A776 Hybrid printer delivers fast and
reliable receipt printing for reduced
transaction time and superior customer
service. The paper low indicator alerts
operators to replace the receipt roll before
it interrupts a transaction. The ergonomic
impact print station utilizes form-in and
alignment sensors to quickly locate checks
and slips for printing. The operator only
needs to insert a check once to read MICR
(with over 99% accuracy) and endorse the
check.
Maintenance-Free
The A776 requires no scheduled
maintenance for years of trouble-free
service. The receipt printer uses commonly
available thermal paper rolls and features
easy drop-in paper replacement. In the slip
printer, changing printer ribbons is a snap
with our “clean ngers” ribbon cassette.
