In printers, the dots are usually the darkened areas of the paper.

Barcodes

This is helpful for proving the authenticity of the receipt, especially when a customer is returning or exchanging goods. Some retailers' point-of-sale systems allow the salesperson to see a complete record of the customer's buying history, including information about other store locations the customer has visited, what they purchased or returned, and total accumulated spendings, among other things- all by scanning a receipt barcode. This kind of monitoring has led to considerable savings among retailers by helping to prevent fraudulent returns.
