Cash Register Ink Ribbons and Ink Rollers

Although most modern cash registers use thermal paper and don't require an ink ribbon or roller there are a few that still do. One of the hardest to find is the IR-90/91 Ink Roller. The IR-90/91 is the Ink Roller for the Sharp ER-A320 Cash Register

Another very hard to find Ink Ribbon is the IR-71 or 805 Ink Ribbon for the Sharp UP-600 Cash Register and a few other Sharp Cash Registers

Remember do not ever re-ink an ink roller or ribbon. Re-inking a cash register ribbon almost always results in the destruction of the cash register. There are a few companies out there that sell re-inked ribbons and rollers. Avoid them at all cost! The real ribbons and rollers are not that expensive that it would warrant buying re-inked ribbons or rollers.

Another important item is the cash register paper. Make sure you keep paper in your cash register even if you don't issue a receipt. Keep the paper in the machine and turn the receipt off. Quite often running a electronic cash register without paper will cause damage to the printer. And lets face facts, if your printer is damaged it is often cheaper to buy a new machine instead of repairing a printer.
