Epson TM-T20IV Thermal Receipt Printer 3in, 9.84in/s, Fast Ethernet, Automatic Cutter, 203dpi

The Epson SpeedSaver 250 (marketed under the TM-T20IV family) is a compact, commercial-grade thermal receipt printer engineered for retail, hospitality and kiosk environments that require fast, reliable transaction printing. Designed for seamless integration with PC‑POS and mobile POS systems, this monochrome direct thermal device supports multiple connectivity options — USB, RS‑232 serial and Ethernet — and offers optional peripheral USB Type‑A support for add‑ons. With paper‑saving functions and an automatic cutter rated for long service life, the SpeedSaver 250 reduces consumable costs and downtime while delivering consistent 203 dpi output and robust reliability metrics for high-volume, continuous use.

Key Features

• High-speed printing: Models in the TM‑T20IV family deliver fast receipt output (up to 310 mm/s in some variants; commonly 250 mm/s) to shorten customer wait times and improve checkout throughput.
• Flexible connectivity: USB, USB Host/Type‑A, RS‑232 (Serial) and Ethernet (10/100 Base‑TX) options provide versatile integration with PC‑POS, mPOS and networked systems.
• Automatic cutter with long life: Built‑in cutter reduces manual intervention and supports up to 2,000,000 cuts for extended, low-maintenance operation.
• Paper‑saving functions: Automatic top‑margin and character‑height reductions can lower paper usage (up to 30% in supported variants), helping reduce operating costs.
• Compact, reliable design: Small footprint and commercial‑grade durability (MTBF up to 360,000 hours and high MCBF line ratings) make it suitable for continuous retail and hospitality use.
