Misc. Support Information

3 1/8" thermal receipt paper for Epson, Star, Samsung, POS-X and Ithaca printers can be purchased through most office supply stores. For example, Staples refers to it as "Thermal POS Rolls" and you can purchase it in 10 packs (part # 452170-C4) or 50 packs (386659-C4).

Dot-matrix printers use 3" single or 2-ply paper and ribbons which can also be purchased through most office supply stores. For example, Staples sells the Epson ERC-38 series ribbon which is used in most Epson, Samsung and POS-X dot-matrix receipt printers.

POSitive for Windows can work with scales as long as you use some kind of serial port to keyboard converter. We recommend the Plexis xWedge, which converts serial port input to keystrokes. xWedge has built-in support for "Generic", NCI and Mettler Toledo scales and you can also program trigger codes for other brands. Click here for more information on xWedge.
