Epson TM U220B Features
Cashier printers such as the Epson TM U220B are not only needed in supermarkets or minimarkets. Various retail businesses also need it to provide receipts that are already the right of consumers to get them.
As a dot-matrix printer, the Epson TM U220B uses a pin head and ink ribbon to print characters on receipt paper. In the printing process, the pin head moves regularly against the ink ribbon on the paper continuously until all the characters are printed. This way of working is similar to how a typewriter works.
Because of how it works, the printing process is quite noisy. However, this deficiency is not a problem because cashier printers are generally not used in office spaces, but are used in buying and selling transactions.
Although noisy, this type of printer is still widely used because the price of paper is cheap. The price of the printer itself is usually cheaper than a cash register printer based on thermal technology.
The Epson TM U220B is available in two color variants, namely Epson Dark Gray and Epson Cool White. With a length of only 160 mm, a width of 248 mm and a height of 139 mm, the physical size of this printer which weighs no more than 2.5 kg is small.
The Epson TM U220B has an economical TCO (The Cost of Ownership) value, an easy paper change mechanism, and can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall.
