FAQs

What is the TM-T20III Thermal Receipt Printer best used for?
The TM-T20III is a small, inexpensive thermal receipt printer designed to be used as an ordinary EPOS device - imagine shops, cafes, pubs, and small restaurants. It works best when you need fast, crisp receipts with no ink or ribbons and a workhorse that just gets the job done.
How fast does the TM-T20III print and will it speed up my till?
It can be printed at a very high rate - so fast that in a second or two the majority of the receipts are on paper. That speed will keep queues moving during peak times; therefore, it will significantly reduce waiting time at the till compared to slower printers.
What connections does the TM-T20III have and will it plug into my system?
TM-T20III models are available with USB and serial (RS-232) connections and a drawer kick-out port. This model connects directly to most tills and EPOS terminals; simply install the appropriate driver to enable payment processing.
What paper does the TM-T20III use and how easy is it to load?
The printer accepts regular 80 mm thermal rolls (but also accepts 58 mm with the right paper spacer). It is easy to load: pop off the cover, place the roll inside, where it will feed as the paper rolls off the bottom, close, and tear off. No inks, no fuss.
Is the TM-T20III reliable and how do I maintain it?
Yes—it is intended to be used in everyday retail. Make it dependable with good-quality thermal paper, ensure your cutter and print head are clean and clear of dust, and try to avoid sticky or wet receipts. Head clean now and then (with good wipes) will also add to life and keep prints sharp
What should I do if the printer won’t print or shows an error?
The first is to confirm the obvious: is the paper loaded, is the power on, and is the cable available? In that case, turn on the printer again and check your driver/port settings. When there is a problem with the cutter or paper feed, press any stuck paper keys and retest. Contact your supplier or Epson support in case of problems; most of them have fast solutions, and the vendors can provide easy step-by-step advice.
