How do TM-U230 printers differ from TM-U200 printers?

The TM-U230 offers several improved features. It has a faster print speed—in fact, up to 30% faster than the TM-U200. The TM-U230 series offer flexible paper widths, so you can choose between 58, 70, or 76mm for greater flexibility and potential cost-savings when narrower receipt rolls are used. In addition, TM-U230 printers feature non-volatile memory for fast logo printing. Lastly, the power supply on the TM-U200 is 33volts, the TM-U230 has a 24v power supply.

How do I upgrade from a TM-U200 to the TM-U230?

The TM-U230 series is designed for compatibility with existing systems built around a TM-U200 printer. These systems can be upgraded simply by dropping in a TM-U230 printer and AC adapter.  (Note: the TM-U200 and TM-U230 power supplies are not compatible). Since the external dimensions are nearly identical, there is no need to change the installation environment resulting in a smooth and easy transition.

What do the DIP switches on the bottom of my printer do?

Generally all switches should be in the "off" position. The DIP switches control baud rate (transmission rate), parity, and other functions. For a list of what each switch does, please see our TM-U230 support page
