Epson’s new smart printers offer innovative peripheral connectivity for tablet-based POS

Long Beach, Calif. – Epson has introduced two new OmniLink i-Series smart printers to meet the growing demand for cost-effective, reliable peripheral connectivity in the mobile and tablet POS environments. With Epson’s innovative ePOS-Device technology, Epson's OmniLink i-Series enables retailers to easily add peripheral devices to tablet POS systems, while protecting their legacy peripheral investments. The TM-T88V-i features four USB ports and one serial port, while the TM-T20II-i can accommodate up to three devices. Handheld scanners, scales, 2x20 customer displays, wedge MSRs (magnetic stripe readers) and more can seamlessly be added to tablet POS solutions, enhancing functionality, strengthening connection reliability, and reducing costs.



"As more retailers embrace tablet-based POS, they’re discovering what works and what doesn't in real-life store environments," said Gregg Brunnick, director of marketing for Epson's Business Systems Division. "While many new wireless and tablet-connected peripheral options have been released, serial and USB peripherals remain better suited to meet the rigors of retail and hospitality store environments. Epson designed the latest OmniLink i-Series printers to enable retailers to embrace new tablet technologies without sacrificing functionality on required input and capture devices."
