When players of compatible games issue a {{wp|print job}}, the output is printed on small rolls of thermal paper, with individual sheets being adhesive-backed and 1.5 in (3.8 cm) in diameter. The paper rolls were marketed as being able to take 180 pictures per roll but a typical roll would only be able to take 118 pictures at most (the dimensions of the paper and the margins between prints are calculated for each print job). | When players of compatible games issue a {{wp|print job}}, the output is printed on small rolls of thermal paper, with individual sheets being adhesive-backed and 1.5 in (3.8 cm) in diameter.
