TM-T88V
POS Printer
The TM-T88V is the latest addition to Epson’s
industry-leading TM-T88 POS printer series.
Designed for use in food service and retail
environments, the TM-T88V offers more speed,
features and reliability than ever before.
High-speed, high-resolution text
and graphics printing
Now you can speed customer
throughput with the TM-T88V
printer. It prints both receipts and
graphics at the same high speed of
up to 300mm per second—50%
faster than the TM-T88IV. And
it’s the first printer in the industry
to offer 16 levels of grayscale to
ensure clear, crisp graphics.
Reliability you can count on
With a MCBF of 70 million lines,
35% higher than the TM-T88IV,
and an autocutter life of 2 million
cuts, the TM-T88V delivers best-
in-class reliability so critical in
high volume environments.
Easy to use. Easy to maintain.
The TM-T88V is packed with
easy-to-use features including drop-
in paper loading, an autocutter,
easy-to-read LEDs and an improved
cover design to protect the printer
from foreign objects.
More features, more flexibility
The TM-T88V also features auto
speed adjustment for smoother
printing, margin and line reduction
functions to reduce paper usage and
costs, and more barcode options
including 2D. In addition, it comes
with dual interfaces (USB and one
additional interface) for flexibility
in handling interface transitions.
ENERGY STAR qualified
Multiple configurations of the
TM-T88V printer meet ENERGY
STAR requirements, making it
the first POS thermal printer to be
ENERGY STAR qualified.1

The TM-T88V is backed by Epson’s
industry-leading service and sup-
port programs and comes with a
four-year limited warranty. To learn
