SINGLE-PLY IMPRINTABLE RECEIPT AND METHOD OF IMPRINTING A RECEIPT

摘要

An apparatus and method is provided for printing and imprinting duplicates of a credit card receipt using a roll of single-ply paper. The paper may be coated on a first side with a heat-sensitive image producing agent and is coated on a second side with a carbon-type image producing agent. To include transaction information printed on the credit card receipt as well as information written on the receipt by the customer (such as a signature and an indication of the amount of any gratuity), the transaction information is substantially duplicated in two separate fields each on a separate portion of the credit card receipt. At least part of the two separate portions are then aligned and presented to the customer for completion. The two separate portions can be aligned by separating the two separate portions from one another and stacking the two separate portions one upon the other.
