# Replacing the Printer Paper

### Replacing the Printer Paper

The terminal uses 2 ¼” or 58mm thermal paper rolls to print transaction receipts.

#### **To replace the printer paper:**

1. On the back of the terminal at the top, lift the lever with the contactless logo to unlock and open the printer cover. <img src="https://documentation.payfacto.com/Terminals/A80/CA-EN/assets/images/A80_ContactlessLogo.png" alt="A80 contactless logo" data-size="line">
