A
Dotmatrix
B
Inkjet
C
Laser
D
Thermal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATM receipts are made by a simple printing method called thermal printing. It is based on the principle of thermochromism, a process of change in colour with heating.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thermal printer (or direct thermal pos printer, Kiosk printer) produces a printed images by selectively heating coated paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermal printers are the most common type of receipt printer because they don’t require any ink. Instead, heat is used to print receipts through direct contact between the thermal paper and the thermal head. This kind of printer produces high-quality receipts quietly and quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thermal printers offer convenience in printing labels, receipts and bar codes quickly and cost effectively in a set location or on the go.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thermal transfer printers work by using a heated printhead that applies that heat to a ribbon, melting ink onto the media. The ink is absorbed so that the image becomes part of the media. This technique provides image quality and durability that is unmatched by other on-demand printing technologies.
