The Epson TM-U220IIB (142) is a durable impact dot-matrix receipt printer designed for retail, hospitality, food service and other point-of-sale environments where dependable printing is essential. Featuring an Ethernet interface, an included power supply and a dark grey finish, this configuration is suitable for network-connected checkout counters, restaurant order stations and compatible business systems.
Unlike direct thermal printers, the TM-U220IIB uses a nine-pin impact printing mechanism and an ink ribbon. This technology supports printing on compatible multi-ply paper, allowing businesses to produce an original and a copy in a single pass. It is particularly useful for restaurant order tickets, kitchen slips, receipts and transaction records where a physical duplicate may be required.
The printer offers straightforward drop-in paper loading, allowing staff to replace paper rolls quickly with minimal interruption. It supports three paper widths—76 mm, 69.5 mm and 58.5 mm—providing flexibility for different receipt and order formats. The automatic cutter separates printed receipts on supported configurations, while the paper-end and near-end sensors help staff monitor paper supply. The near-end sensor is a factory-specified feature for this configuration.
The Ethernet interface enables connection to a compatible wired network, supporting integration with network-capable POS systems. A cash-drawer kick-out function is also available for compatible cash drawers. These features make the TM-U220IIB suitable for businesses that need a practical printer for transaction receipts, order records and other point-of-sale documents.
The printer's dark grey housing is designed for professional commercial environments. Its compact Type B construction measures approximately 160 × 248 × 138.5 mm (W × D × H) and weighs approximately 2.5 kg. The included power supply helps simplify installation, while the ribbon-based impact mechanism provides a familiar printing solution for businesses using legacy POS software or systems that require impact printing.
The TM-U220II series supports Epson's POS software ecosystem, including available Epson printer drivers and development tools. Actual compatibility depends on the operating system, POS application, network configuration and the software's supported printer commands. Before deployment, confirm the software and network settings required for your specific checkout or kitchen workflow.
