Hemel Hempstead, 10 February 2003. Epson has announced
the launch of an enhanced range of single station impact receipt
printers. The TM-U220 Series will replace the company's highly
successful TM-U200 and TM-U300 Series and features drop-in paper
load for greater ease of use.
The
TM-U220 Series will be of particular interest to specialist
retailers and those operating within the hospitality sector
as its small footprint, reliability and ease of use make it
ideal for demanding environments where space is at a premium,
i.e. speciality retailers, restaurants and fast food outlets,
The range also includes a special kitchen
printer with a powdered glass coating and spill proof case,
audio buzzer and multipart stationary for added performance
and durability.
Offering print speeds up to 30% faster than
the TM-U300 at 5 lines per second, the TM-U220 also delivers
enhanced ease of use. In addition to the drop-in paper load
the printer has a selectable auto-cutter and clamshell covers
for fast easy access and maintenance. All these features are
included while maintaining a footprint of just 160 (W) x 248
(D) x 133 (H) mm, ensuring the printer will take up minimal
space on any counter.
A highly flexible printer, the TM-U220 delivers
increased font options to help retailers maximise the impact
of their receipts and coupons. Retailers can also take advantage
of flexible paper width options, while the printer can be
mounted either horizontally or vertically.
The TM-U220 offers excellent connectivity
with a full range of interface options, including high-speed
serial (115.2KB/sec), Ethernet, RFI, and Powered USB. It is
also completely compatible with printers in the TM-U200 series,
ensuring an easy migration path for the retailer. The printer
is designed to consume minimal power and is equipped with
its own internally mounted 240v/220v power supply.
