SYDNEY, 8 May 2019 – Epson Australia has announced the launch of a new compact point-of-sale printer capable of receipt printing, slip printing and cheque
processing in one unit, and offering improved reliability, useful connectivity features and a very low total cost of ownership. Amongst other retailers, the TM-H6000V is aimed at shops and businesses that require cheque-processing facilities at point of sale, and want to print receipts with the same unit.
The TM-H6000V prints at speeds up to 350mm/s¹, offers faster cheque processing than its predecessor, has a faster auto-cutter, and offers a selection of other improvements that help businesses boost overall efficiency. It also helps minimise downtime with improved reliability.
The thermal printer is now effective for 200 km of receipts, while its auto-cutter is capable of three million cuts.
The printer is flexible enough to adapt to the demands of a modern retail environment, with new features including Server Direct Print (SDP) to permit web-based printing, as well as multiple interfaces for tablet and PC coexistence. ePOS-Print, ePOS-display and NFC tagging allow simple and quick tablet POS set-up, for businesses moving into tablet-based POS.
Designed with significant business critical improvements, the TM-H6000V multifunction hybrid printer supports advanced functionality to ‘future proof’ the product for many years to come.
