Epson ReadyPrint T20 Direct Thermal Printer - Monochrome - Desktop - Receipt Print (C31CB10021)

Simple...Uninstalled my POS 5870 cheapoInstalled the drivers for this printerOpen the printer options and turned on open cash drawer before printWORKS!Nothing in the world couldn't work out any better than this product. Prints super fast! FYI, don't expect to have the POS/esc commands in the manual because it tells you that it's not open to the public but not like google can't fix that.WINDOWS 8 COMPATIBLE!!! SO YES, IT WORKS WITH EARLIER VERSIONSThe printer comes with a few extra pieces... Kick them to the side as they are not needed BUT USEFULIncludeds USB printer cable and everything elsePrints up to 80mmUSB ESC/POS COMMANDS but i have to find my correct programming language to use it (java/jscript/PHP) I don't know if I can Use VB on my custom pos system but if anyone knows me, i will figure out and will work...Uses the RJ12(Phone Jack) plug for Cash Drawer and it's PIN2 if anyone is wondering and Secondary is PIN5This one I didn't see the secondary plug in unless you use a splitter or what not, never seen a use for two cash drawers for one POS system but it's capable.Great qualityEven the sample receipt paper comes taped and wrapped!To the point easy software installationIgnore the paper instructions, it will take you for a ride just to see that all you do is put the paper in and be done with it.You don't need to screw around with the extra settings, just turn on the cash drawer before/After print and be done. All of that coupon set up, barcode stuff on there is good but is best to use within your software development for better control but it too is useful. I use code 3-9 and scanner picks it right up for my transaction numbers. Now you do have programming options to setup the cutter and all of that but for those needing something fo there store on a quick, serve my customers base, this is by far the best and a heck of a lot cheaper that the t88 models by which I don't see any difference by any meansActs as a regular printer, you install it, and print whatever you want to it and it automatically scales it down to the margin on the printer paper and done deal(No need to go around playing with settings) NOTE: CHROME STILL LIKES TO USE 2 MILES OF THE PAPER SO I DONT KNOW ABOUT CHROME AS MY POS FRONT END. I USE FIREFOX OR OPERA)Like I said the only issue im having which is not the printers fault is me utilizing the ESC/POS commands but I was having that issue with my other printer simply because I don't program in C# and VB.Net(ALTHOUGH IT HAS SOME SAMPLES FOR VB6 FOR THOSE WHO STILL USE VB6!!)If you want something quick, easy, ready to go, no bs'ing around, reliable and good quality and just print on the fly without the messfull setup ... BUY IT.

Really solid receipt printer. Less expensive than 90% of the machines in its class, but it holds its own without an issue. Installation was slightly more involved than other reviewers had let on (it helps to know which port you're connecting this through), but overall it was still pretty simple to get working. Just make sure that you don't have an old version of the Epson receipt print driver on your computer, as this can cause the installation to fail.

Easy to set up, does what I need it to do, seems sturdy and well made. It can sit vertically or horizontally which makes for flexibility in meeting individual space requirements. I have it sitting vertically on my computer tower under my desk meaning less clutter on my desktop and allowing the receipts to be in easy reach.The price is super - my credit card merchant wanted to sell me the same one for $300 or rent it to me for $10 a month.

Worked right out of the box. No hassle. I purchased this one and another Esky model that was a real lemon. Accidentally sent one of several messages meant to address the Esky unit problem to the POS Megastore for this Epson. POS were quick to tell me their 30 day policy was up and to talk to the hand. No 60 day, no 90 day, 30. Beware-- if you have any issues, address them early because after 30 days these guys are done with you.

works as spected and no problems at the moment, configuration and administration is simple and worries free, vary fast printing too

I installed an open sourse software (floreant pos) on an old computer and attached this printer to it. The printer fits excellently with the system. Installation is easy -- installed it on windows XP and on SuSE Linux 11.4 and 12.1. For the Linux system (mine is SuSE) you will need internet connection, the software provided was not good (or I could not use it correctly, more likely my inability).I connected it with a cash drawer and works excellent - needed adjusting printer setup on print manager (windows). I do not remember using it (printer + cash drawer) on Linux.

I purchased two for my father's grocery store.The included CD has plenty of software. I was happy to find the Port Assignment Tool or port emulation software.This was very helpful with my POS software which didn't support USB. It worked like a piece of cake.You just assign which port you want the Epson device to use. You can even see the devices assigned to ports used in other programs.Also, the sample roll has sufficient length for testing purposes.I think it is 80" but check the manufacturer site.You need to download the official manual off their website too.The only sheet included in the package is for hardware setup.

This printer did not work well with our POS system when trying to get it to work we had many issues. We contacted the seller and they were very unhelpful. We also could not return the unit even though it did not work. Basically if you buy this unit and have any issues you will be stuck with it. The seller does not take returns so just be aware of that!
