USER MANUAL TM-T88V EPSON
Do you want a PoS receipt printer that sets new standards for environmental compatibility, quality, reliability and total cost of ownership? Then the TM-T88V is your first choice. The Epson TM-T88 series thermal printers have in the past already set standards for a whole industry, with already over five million systems installed. Now with the TM-T88V, Epson launches its latest flagship. The printer benefits from proven predecessor technologies. With many new technical features, this is the most cost-efficient, long-lasting and eco-friendly PoS thermal printer ever developed by Epson.
Benchmark - Innovation
As one of the leading suppliers of products and solutions in the print and digital imaging sectors, Epson is well-known for its dynamic record of innovations. With its TM-T88V thermal printer, the Japanese technology corporation sets a new milestone. Whether it's grey scale print, the ENERGY STAR® certificate or the long life of its mechanical and electronic components, the Epson TM-T88V is miles ahead in technology and ingenious detail – impressive!
Benchmark - Total cost of ownership
Behind the technical perfection of the TM-T88V lie many years of business experience, with over five million printer installations and a systematic process of improvement spanning five generations. Significant key performance indicators – system availability (MCBF), cutting capacity and print head capacity for example – bear witness to the very low total cost of ownership of the thermal printer. Its high degree of reliability guarantees your productivity at the point of sale.
Benchmark - Economy
Cost efficiency is one of the key features of the TM-T88V, a very important commercial consideration in these times of cost constraints and tight margins. Whatever the operational mode, energy consumption is ultra low, there are many ways to cut down on paper usage, and it has a durable, robust, cost-cutting design – all ideal for the environment.
NEW BENCHMARK FOR PoS THERMAL PRINTERS
Benchmark - Sustainability
Under its sustainability initiative, Epson is committed to maintaining high ethical and ecological standards. The 'Epson Sustainability Report', published annually, records how Epson safeguards and continuously improves the environmental credentials of its products and manufacturing processes. The company is sustainable, too, in its ethical relations with customers, business partners and workforce.
Benchmark - Environmental protection
Since 2000, Epson has been recording the environmental impact of some the items in its production range. Life cycle assessments (LCA) reveal the consumption, in terms of raw materials and energy, occasioned by a product during production, use and disposal and the associated emissions. Thanks to ground-breaking improvement measures, Epson has significantly improved the CO_2 account of the printer. The printer's extremely long life is not the least of the factors with a positive effect on its LCA.
With the TM-T88V, you get the most economic, cost-efficient and low-resource use thermal printer ever designed by Epson. Its total cost of ownership has never been so low. Thanks to its special construction method, it noticeably reduces system downtimes and so saves you servicing costs.
Very high system availability
Component design improvements have enabled Epson to make significant advances with key technical performance indicators. The integrated paper cutter's performance rating has now stepped up by 33% to the two million cut level. The mean number of work cycles between two failures (MCBF) is now up by 35% on the predecessor model to 70 million lines. The print head now has a 50% greater capacity than that of its predecessor. The long warranty period (doubled from two to four years) is impressive testimony of these improvements.
This slashes your total cost of ownership to a really low level.
Robust, durable design
The printer case lid, always subject to extreme mechanical stresses, now has metal hinges to minimise wear. The paper feed mechanism is redesigned providing reliable protection against till receipt wastage. If an obstacle blocks the paper feed, the receipt may get twisted, but the cut will usually still be right on exit. Use the TM-T88V in your catering area. You'll still benefit as before from the electronic components' good level of encapsulation. And even when the appliance is open, small splashes won't cause any major damage.
Protection against loss of sales through cash till breakdowns.
Transparency through remote maintenance
Too short maintenance cycles waste money. Too long maintenance cycles can cause system damage and high consequential costs. Remote maintenance helps you monitor the operation of your TM-T88V around the clock. Knowledge of the line feed, cut numbers and operating times enables you to plan the maintenance programme for each printer precisely and even carry it out online if necessary. This guarantees efficient printer maintenance.
Increases the productivity and cost-efficiency of your maintenance programme.
The remote maintenance software enables you to read paper consumption figures or cut numbers, for example.
THE ENVIRONMENT WILL THANK YOU
Your new till receipt printer, an ecological star setting new standards.
Choose the TM-T88V and score twice – protecting both the environment and the climate.
Environmental protection from a high-tech solution
Throughout, from production to delivery, Epson focuses on careful use of resources and continuous emission reduction. All the processes and materials deployed in the manufacture of the TM-T88V are at the cutting edge of technology. Transportation, packaging, use and recycling are all designed to have the lowest possible environmental impact. The TM-T88V releases 10% less CO2 than its predecessor and so has the best CO2 life cycle assessment of any Epson thermal printer so far.
Epson makes an active contribution to protecting the environment and the climate.
Very low energy consumption
ENERGY STAR
As the world's very first thermal PoS receipt printer, the Epson TM-T88V has been awarded the ENERGY
STAR® certificate for power-saving office equipment because its energy consumption is extremely low whatever the operating mode. In standby mode it consumes less than 1 watt. Overall, Epson has managed to cut electricity consumption by 14% . The ENERGY STAR® certificate is a first for the PoS industry, a fact of which Epson is especially proud.
Reduces your energy costs and protects the environment.
Thrifty with paper
The new fully automatic paper reducing function gives you the opportunity to reduce the line spacing on each receipt without altering the content.
Also, the TM-T88V prints the logo on the next receipt before cutting the one before it. This saves you up to 12 mm more paper per receipt.
Overall, these new functions give you paper savings of up to 30% , depending on the length of the receipt. The printer comes with an adapter so you can also reconfigure it to print on narrower paper (58 mm).
Reduces your costs on consumables and protects the environment.
