# Select Printout Contrast Level

## Select Printout Contrast Level

The payment terminals use thermal paper to print the transaction receipts. You can adjust the level of contrast for the transaction receipts if they are difficult to read. If you have a mobile or portable payment terminal, the contrast level can affect battery usage.

The following table shows examples of each printout contrast level:

| **Pale**                                                                                                                                                                 | **Normal**                                                                                                                                                                   | **Dark**                                                                                                                                                                 |

| Lightest printout (lowest contrast), prints faster and uses less battery                                                                                                 | Default printout setting, average printing speed and battery use                                                                                                             | Darkest printing (highest contrast), prints slower and uses more battery                                                                                                 |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/secure-payment/application-securetable-module/securetable-application/configure-printing-options/select-printout-contrast-level.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
