Epson TM-U220IIB Ethernet Kitchen Receipt Printer (Auto-Cutter)

The Epson TM-U220IIB is an Ethernet impact (dot matrix) printer for receipts and kitchen dockets. It is built for hot kitchens and busy retail counters. In these settings, heat and steam can stop thermal printers from working. The TM-U220IIB keeps printing where they fail.
