Most thermal receipt printers use 80 mm wide rolls, and a size such as 80x80 means 80 mm wide with an 80 mm roll diameter. Check your printer’s specifications for the maximum roll diameter, and use thermal paper rather than bond paper in a thermal printer. The AAAPOS shop sells printer consumables.

The AAAPOS downloads page lists the RetailManager v12.5 user guide and other reference documents. Because some downloads may relate to older versions, check the version shown on the document before following its instructions.
