What are the benefits of buying a TM-T88VI?
|
|
The TM-T88VI is the fastest member 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-T88VI also has the same external dimensions of the
TM-T88V for easy drop-in replacement. The TM-88VI has a built-in
Ethernet and USB interface as well as a slot for a Connect-It card. |
|
Will the TM-T88VI become obsolete if I upgrade my
system? |
|
No. With Epson’s wide range of
Connect-It interfaces, the TM-T88VI is
compatible with today’s best-of-breed and component-based systems.
Interface options are available serial, parallel,
Ethernet, wireless and more. In essence, Epson’s interface options
make the TM-T88VI "future proof" against system changes and it can be
easily moved to a new system with a change of an interface card.

|
Does the use of graphics increase the time it
takes for my customer to check out? |
|
No. The printing speed of the Epson TM-T88VI has
increased 15% over the TM-T88V printer and features the same fast
printing for both text and graphics. The TM-T88VI 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

rate), parity, and other functions. For a list of what each switch does,
please see our TM-T88 support page |
|
What are the memory switches and what do they do? |
|
In addition to the DIP switch settings the TM-T88VI printer includes
memory switch (or soft switch) settings for setting printing and
hardware options. See here for
details. |
