Key Features
Impact receipt printing with drop-in paper
Serial impact dot matrix printing for receipts and kitchen orders. Paper drops in, the printer accepts three roll paper sizes, and Epson describes ribbon replacement as hassle-free, so staff can keep it running between orders.
Handles busy order flow
Epson increased the buffer memory so more orders can be received at the same time, and describes the throughput as high-efficiency for printing receipts and orders faster. The autocutter (partial cut) and near-end sensor are factory fitted.
Compact and drop-in compatible
At 160 x 248 x 138.5 mm (W x D x H) it is compact enough for a counter or kitchen pass. Epson designed it to be compatible with systems built around previous models, so it can replace an older unit without reworking the setup.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are Epson's own, from the Epson UAE product pages for all six TM-U220IIB configurations, which list the same specification. Rows Epson's page states without a unit, with a mismatched value, or as internal codes (roll diameter and width tolerance, operating temperature, data buffer, printing width and font) are left out.
