TM-U230
A New Dirt-Resistance Kitchen Printer

A New Dirt-Resistant Kitchen Printer
TM-U230 is a kitchen printer designed to deliver reliable printing in the oily, steamy, dirty environment of a kitchen. And a universal I/F board enabling connection to a wide range of interfaces. It is also OLE-POS compatible. With this new lineup, EPSON goes even further to satisfy customers' retail market application needs.
 
Water Resistant
With all that water and steam, you don't expect to find a printer in the kitchen. But with a water-resistant case, neither steam nor splashing is a problem for TM-U230. And even when installed in a horizontal position, the unique TM-U230 drain channel lets out water that enters through the paper exit.
 
Easy to Clean
TM-U230 is well-designed to stand up to the rigors of the kitchen. Its flat surface makes wiping easy, while a fine coating helps customers remove oils, sauces and other types of kitchen stains. And that's not all. The bacteria-resistant coating ensures that strict hygiene standards are maintained.
 
Installation Flexibility
With its three installation positions, TM-U230 is designed to fit every kitchen. Users are free to fill the available space by installing the printer vertically (paper exit at the front), horizontally (paper exit on top), or by hanging it on the wall (bracket optional). No need to make a special place for your printer, just fit TM-U230 where you need it most.
 
Network Compatible
With Ethernet and USB (both optional) network capability, TM-U230 is well set up to fit into any restaurant network. Designed to fit into existing systems, the Ethernet capability allows TM-U230 to be connected to a large network or to an Order Entry System - all part of the TM-U230 customer-friendly concept.
