EPSON

Epson printers are very popular because of their reliability.  Many of the thermal receipt printers used these days are almost 100% compatible with Epson drivers because they emulate Epson hardware for compatibility.

This year, Epson have refreshed one of their popular thermal receipt printer TM-T88, with impressive features namely the default triple interface.  Current model (TM-T88VI) comes with Ethernet alongside the previous model’s (TM-T88V) interface USB and SERIAL.  This seems to be a common trend with printer manufacturers e.x. Bixolon including both Serial and USB on their SRP-275 refresh.  With frequent returns on these printers with varying interfaces and customer ordering wrong item by mistake, this trend is truly a bliss for both retailers like us and our customers.

TM-T88VI also has optional wireless/BT interface available for printing from mobile device wirelessly, but unfortunately we do not have enough available to open and play around with wifi model.  Also there seems to be a white model available in the wild, but we only have black models so if you need a white printer to match your store, we have some TM-T88V model in white (does not have Ethernet).

This is the last version of TM-T88, but it doesn’t mean that it’s obsolete!  Epson printers have 4 year warranty from the date of your purchase and thy are known for their reliability so TM-T88 V is not a bad choice if you do not needed Ethernet port for your printer.  It also comes in “Epson Cool White” (white) or “Epson Dark Gray” (black) and still comes with dual Serial and USB interface.
