Review: The only POS printers we will EVER use!! - **Firstly, it is important to note that this printer does NOT include the communication cables! I know it doesn't specifically mention including them, however, most regular printers one purchases do include the USB cable in their boxes so I'm not sure why this printer wouldn't. I think it would be helpful to be explicitly noted in the listing, it will help all buyers be prepared to provide their own*** PERFORMANCE- We have been using these Epson printers for as long as we've been using our POS system, which is at least 15 years. We have only had to purchase 2 generations of these printers, meaning these are AMAZING. Long lasting, workhorse printers. One of our older original Epson printers was starting to have a faded area in the center of receipts so we decided to replace it with this newer model. We have already purchased one of these newer models years ago and so far they have proven just as dependable as the older model which seems to be very rare these days! Excellent performance and longevity. CABLES- This printer takes both a USB connection, as well as an RS 232 hookup if you still have a computer that uses one. Since the printer we were replacing was hooked up with the RS 232 cable, and since we didn't have the USB cable type that this printer requires, we opted to use our old RS 232 cable. INSTALLATION- Installation is foolproof. It is as simple as plugging in the cables and buying the power button. PAPER ROLLS- These printers take the 3 and 1/8" thermal paper rolls. Prices on these can fluctuate GREATLY depending on where you buy them, so I highly suggest you shop around!
Review: Best seller and great product - Epson check printing machine is well know so it’s obviously great for our small business. But I would like to give 100 stars review to the company that was just amazing in helping us setting up the printer. Even when after 2 months return window lapsed and we decided to return one of the items, this company was so responsive. They processed the refund and return label immediately. Can’t say thank you enough!

Works when unplugged to the register. Plug in the register cable and it shuts off. Unplug the cable and it turns back on. Epson phone support is retarded. Buy something else.
