Epson TM-U220II impact receipt printer

EPSON TM-U220II impact printer series – the “classic” printing you can rely on in the kitchen and at the POS

If you need a receipt printer that will perform flawlessly in a harsh environment (heat, steam, humidity), then the EPSON TM-U220II is the kind of “workhorse” you’re looking for. We’re talking about a 9-pin impact (dot matrix) printer , built for HoReCa and retail, capable of printing clear and durable receipts, even where thermal paper can struggle.

And yes, it’s also “smart”: the models in the series can be prepared for online orders via Server Direct Print (on Ethernet/Wireless), so you can print receipts and notes directly from a web server, without complicated POS integrations. In addition, you have support for both mPOS and PC-POS , meaning you can work with traditional systems or with tablets and mobile devices.

Why choose EPSON TM-U220II?

• 9-pin impact printing – ideal for kitchen, bar, steam and high temperature areas
• Two-color printing (black + red) – highlight exceptions, cancellations or important messages
• Speed up to 8.8 lines/sec (depending on format/columns)
• Durable receipts – impact paper remains legible over time, even in difficult conditions
• Support for mPOS and PC-POS – compatible with mobile and classic POS systems
• Flexible installation options – including wall mounting with “right-side up” printing
• Diverse connectivity via Connect-It interfaces: USB, Serial, Ethernet, Parallel, Powered USB, Wireless
• Professional features – auto cutter (on certain configurations), log take-up (depending on type)

Where does the TM-U220II fit best?

In short: wherever you need a “tough” receipt that won’t easily rub off and will last over time. The series is frequently used as:

• Kitchen printer for orders (kitchen printer)
• POS receipt printer in retail and services
• Printer for internal notes in back-office, warehouse or production
• Receipt printer with copy (1 original + 1 carbon copy)

Performance and readability

The TM-U220II can print at up to 8.8 lines/sec (at 16 columns/line, 16 cpi), up to 6.0 lines/sec (30 columns/line) and up to 4.7 lines/sec (40 columns/line). This means you can choose the right format for simple receipts, kitchen orders or detailed notes, without wasting time during busy hours.

Additionally, two-color printing (black/red) helps you make receipts easy to track: red for exceptions, priorities, or warnings – a small thing, but in practice it saves time and reduces errors.

Connectivity: from classic POS to online orders

The series includes support for EPSON protocols and ecosystem: ESC/POS , ePOS-Print (Ethernet/Wireless) and Server Direct Print (Ethernet/Wireless). Basically, you can integrate the printer into traditional POS systems or modern workflows (e.g. online orders that go directly to the printer).

Furthermore, certain models are DHCP-enabled for easy network configuration, and EPSON offers dedicated utilities (Windows) for settings and deployment.
