Epson TM-U220B 17.8 cpi 6 ips Serial Auto Cutter Thermal Desktop Dot Matrix Receipt Printer - C31C514653

A receipt-printer replacement should match the point-of-sale system's connection and required print media. The TM-U220B listing identifies a serial desktop dot-matrix printer with an automatic cutter, a listed 17.8 cpi character density, and a 6 ips speed figure. Its title also says thermal, which conflicts with the dot-matrix designation, so consumables should be confirmed for the exact unit before purchase.
