The Epson TM-T70II is a compact 80 mm thermal receipt printer with full front operation – paper loading, receipt exit and all buttons are at the front, so it fits under most counters (it is the same height as most cash drawers) and frees up valuable counter space. It prints sharp 180 dpi receipts, logos and barcodes at up to 250 mm/s, cuts them automatically and saves paper with near-margin-free printing – ideal for restaurants, bars, retail and hospitality. This version, C31CD38032A0, has a dark grey housing and USB + serial (RS-232) interfaces; it comes with an Epson power supply and a power cord with a UK plug – an interface cable is not included.

Key Features
- Full front operation – paper loading, receipt exit, power switch and buttons are all at the front, so the printer can be operated even when it is built in under the counter.
- Fits under the counter – a small footprint (125 × 194 mm) and the same height as most cash drawers (114 mm) free up valuable space on the counter.
- Fast 250 mm/s printing – sharp 180 dpi receipts with logos, graphics and barcodes, including greyscale printing for high-quality images.
- USB + serial (RS-232) – connect a POS PC via USB or link cash registers and older POS systems via the serial port; the interface board (UIB) can be swapped for other Epson interfaces, e.g. Wi-Fi.
- Paper-saving functions – print receipts and logos almost to the top edge and reduce paper use, which lowers running costs and is better for the environment.
- Built for heavy use – MTBF of 360,000 hours, MCBF of 65 million lines, a print mechanism rated for 17 million lines, a 120 km print head life and an auto-cutter rated for 1.7 million cuts.
- Cash drawer port and optional buzzer – the drawer kick-out port opens a cash drawer automatically; add the optional OT-BZ20 external buzzer to alert staff to new orders.
- Easy drop-in paper loading – 80 mm thermal rolls up to 83 mm in diameter, loaded from the front in seconds.
- Broad software support – ESC/POS command set with APD (Windows), OPOS, JavaPOS and CUPS (Linux) drivers; works with virtually all POS software, including Loyverse.
Ideal Applications
- Restaurants, bars, cafés and quick-service counters with little counter space
- Kitchen order tickets – printers installed under the counter or in cabinets
- Retail checkouts and convenience stores
- Hotels, hospitality and service counters
- Integrated POS desks and kiosks where the printer must be operated from the front
