What are the benefits of buying a TM-T88IV?
|
|
The TM-T88IV is the one of the faster members of the
industry-leading TM-T88 series. It prints text and graphics at the same
fast speed, has two-color capabilities, new ease-of-use features,
optional power supply case and offers both wired and wireless
interfaces. The TM-T88IV also has the same external dimensions of the
TM-T88III for easy drop-in replacement. |
|
Will the TM-T88IV become obsolete if I upgrade my
system? |
|
No. With Epson’s wide range of
Connect-It interfaces, the TM-T88IV is
compatible with today’s best-of-breed and component-based systems.
Interface options are available for high-speed USB, serial, parallel,
USB, Ethernet, wireless and more. In essence, Epson’s interface options
make the TM-T88IV "future proof" against system changes and it can be
easily moved to a new system with a change of an interface card.

Why use two-color printing for receipts?
|
|
Many retailers are gaining customer loyalty by
implementing frequent shopper and affinity programs. The key to making
these programs successful is to effectively communicate their value to
the customer. Through the use of two-color printing on receipts,
customers can see in bold color exactly how much they’ve saved. In
addition, recent studies have shown that retailers can further build
their brand by using two-color enhanced graphics, logos and messaging on
their receipts. With the TM-T88IV, you can start using two color
printing whenever you are ready. |
|
Does the use of color and graphics increase the time it
takes for my customer to check out? |
|
No. The printing speed of the Epson TM-T88IV has
increased 25% over the TM-T88III printer and features the same fast
printing for both text and graphics. The TM-T88IV features NV RAM for
storing frequently used logos and graphics, so receipt printing is not
slowed down. |
|
Is thermal printing expensive? |
|
Not any more. Black and white and two-color thermal
paper are widely available and the popularity of thermal printing has
driven the price of paper down substantially. Thermal printing also
eliminates the need for other consumables such as ink or ribbons,
further reducing overhead costs. |
| How does
thermal printing work? |
| Thermal material, typically
paper or synthetic film, has a special chemical coating applied to one
side to make it sensitive...

| 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-T88 support page |
