Hypercom T7P Friction Hypercom T7P friction has similar features and functions as the T7P thermal. Both have the integrated terminal and printer as well as the quick transaction response time. The main difference between the two is that the machine uses a friction printer rather than a thermal printer. The cost of the Hypercom T7P friction is lower than the T7P thermal because of the difference in the printer. Other than that, the T7P friction and the T7P thermal are both as reliable and easy to function as the other. * Integrated credit card machine and printer * Cashier replaceable printer module * Simple and easy to learn functions and features * Quick dial transaction response times Keypad: Paper roll: Display: Card Reader: Memory: Communications: Power: Dimensions: Environment: Water and splash resistant, 35-key, 59-key with QWERTY keyboard (optional) Standard 2.25 in, single or 2-ply roll Backlit LCD, 2 lines X 20 characters Magnetic stripe, tracks 1 and 2 256K and 12K RAM LAN, RS485, 2 wire or 4 wire +24Vdc, 200mA 2.5 in Height, 5.18 in Width, 10 in Depth, 1.7 lbs 0-45°C/32-113°F.

The T7P friction uses paper rolls doubled with yellow customer carbon copies which make it easier for customers to retain their own personal record of the transaction. When there is tip involved, the customer usually writes down the tip amount on the merchant receipt and again on the customer copy for their personal use. But with the friction printer and the carbon copy paper rolls, the tip is accurately recorded on both the merchant copy as well as the customer copy. The friction printer for the T7P requires a special type of paper roll used to provide yellow copies to customers without requiring the merchant to print out a duplicate receipt. This makes the T7P friction credit card machine ideal for restaurants receiving tip. There are minimal mistakes involving tip since what the customer writes down as tip on the merchant copy is accurately recorded on the carbon copy for the customer underneath. Signatures are also recorded on both the merchant copy and the customer copy accurately making it easier for the customer to keep an accurate account of the purchases at your business. http://www.hypercoms.com/Hypercom_Credit_Card_Machines/Hypercom_T7P_Friction.shtml
