Epson TM-T88VII (132) 180 x 180 DPI Wired & Wireless Thermal POS printer

The Epson TM-T88VII is a high-speed thermal POS receipt printer with 180 x 180 DPI resolution, supporting both wired and wireless connectivity. Designed for retail and hospitality environments, it accepts 80 mm wide paper rolls (maximum roll diameter 8.3 cm) and prints at speeds up to 500 mm/s while operating quietly with a sound pressure level of 52 dB. The compact, black unit is compatible with previous T88V and T88VI models and aims to reduce environmental impact through lower power consumption and compatibility with phenol-free paper.

Advantages

The TM-T88VII delivers proven reliability with a long mean time between failures and fast, high-quality receipts suitable for busy points of sale. Backwards compatibility with T88V and T88VI software and the same physical footprint reduce upgrade costs and installation effort. The printer is eco-conscious, featuring lower noise levels, reduced power consumption and a smaller, more efficient power supply, plus support for phenol-free paper.
