Two-colour impact printing for kitchen orders, receipts, and busy POS environments.
Epson TM-U220B-067 Impact Kitchen and Receipt Printer The Epson TM-U220B-067 is a compact impact dot-matrix printer designed for kitchen orders, receipts, service tickets, and other POS applications where ribbon-based printing is preferable to direct thermal printing.
This specific configuration is identified by Epson as:
- Model: TM-U220B
- Configuration: 067
- SKU: C31C514067
- Interface: No interface specified as included
- Power supply: Included
- Near-end sensor: Included
- Colour: Epson Dark Grey
The exact interface required—such as serial, USB, Ethernet, or another supported Epson interface—must be confirmed separately before ordering.
Overview
The TM-U220 series uses a 9-pin serial impact dot-matrix print mechanism. Unlike thermal printers, it prints through an inked ribbon, making it suitable for environments where receipts or kitchen tickets may be exposed to heat.
The TM-U220B version includes an autocutter and supports optional wall mounting. Epson documents print speeds of up to 6.0 lines per second and support for three common roll-paper widths.
Typical uses include:
- Restaurant kitchen orders
- Café preparation tickets
- Retail receipts
- Service-counter tickets
- Order-routing slips
- Hospitality POS printing
- One-original-plus-one-copy forms
Why Use an Impact Printer in a Kitchen?
Thermal paper can darken when exposed to excessive heat. An impact printer uses plain paper and an inked ribbon, so it may be more suitable for kitchen or food-preparation areas where printed orders are placed near heat sources.
Impact printing can also support:
- Black or black/red ribbon printing
- Multi-part paper with one original and one copy
- Audible printing, which can help alert kitchen staff that a new order has arrived
- Plain-paper receipt rolls rather than heat-sensitive thermal media
The correct printer should still be selected according to the working environment, noise tolerance, software, paper format, and connection method.
Key Features
Impact dot-matrix printing
The TM-U220 uses a 9-pin serial impact mechanism rather than thermal printing.
Up to 6.0 lines per second
Epson specifies:
- Up to 4.7 lines per second at 40 columns
- Up to 6.0 lines per second at 30 columns
Actual output depends on font, layout, communication, and application settings.

Three supported paper widths
The printer accommodates approximately:
- 57.5 mm

The appropriate internal paper-width configuration must be used.
Two-colour printing
With the appropriate Epson ERC-38 black/red ribbon and supported software commands, the TM-U220 can print in black and red.
Near-end paper sensor
The 067 configuration is identified by Epson as including the near-end sensor, helping the operator identify when the paper roll is approaching its end.
Drop-in paper loading
The roll-paper design is intended to simplify media replacement during daily POS operation.

Important Interface Notice
The part number C31C514067 is described as:
TM-U220B (067): No IF, PS, NE sensor, EDG
This indicates that buyers should not assume that USB, Ethernet, or serial connectivity is already installed.
Before ordering, confirm:
- Which interface board is installed, if any
- Whether an interface board must be purchased separately
- The required connection to the POS terminal
- Driver and software compatibility
- Cable requirements
- Network configuration, where applicable
The TM-U220 family supports multiple interface types, but availability depends on the specific hardware configuration.
Applications
The Epson TM-U220B-067 may be considered for:
- Restaurant kitchen printing
- Café order tickets
- Hotel food-and-beverage operations
- Retail receipt printing
- Service-counter tickets
- Pharmacy or clinic counter receipts
- Warehouse issue slips
- Workshop job tickets
- Order-routing documents
- One-original-plus-one-copy printing
Purpose of Use
This printer is intended for transaction and order printing where impact technology provides operational advantages.
It may be useful where:
- Kitchen heat makes thermal paper less suitable
- Two-colour printing is required
- A copy form is needed
- An audible print mechanism is useful for staff notification
- Plain-paper roll printing is preferred
- Existing POS software already supports Epson ESC/POS commands
Compatibility
The TM-U220 supports Epson ESC/POS commands and can be used with compatible POS software, drivers, and middleware. Epson also provides Advanced Printer Driver and OPOS-related resources for the TM-U220 family.
Compatibility depends on:
- Installed interface
- POS operating system
- Epson driver version
- Software support for the TM-U220
- Required paper width
- Character set
- Cutter commands
- Red/black print commands
- Cash-drawer requirements
- Existing receipt or kitchen-ticket format
A test print from the intended software is recommended before full deployment.
Interface Options Explained
Serial
Serial RS-232 may suit older POS systems or installations already designed for serial communication.
Verify:
- COM-port availability
- Baud rate
- Parity
- Data bits
- Handshaking
- Cable pinout
USB
USB may be suitable for direct connection to a nearby Windows POS terminal, subject to the correct Epson USB interface and driver.
Ethernet
Ethernet may be preferable when the printer is shared across a network or installed away from the POS terminal.
Verify:
- Interface model
- IP-address configuration
- Network security
- POS-software support
- Print-server compatibility
Because the 067 version is identified as “No IF,” none of these connections should be assumed to be included without confirmation.
Paper and Ribbon Guidance
Paper
Use plain impact-printer roll paper matching the configured width.
Supported nominal widths include:
- 58 mm class
- 70 mm class
- 76 mm class
Paper thickness and roll diameter should remain within Epson’s published limits.
Ribbon
The TM-U220 series uses Epson ERC-38 ribbon cartridges.
Common options include:
- ERC-38B black ribbon
- ERC-38BR black/red ribbon
Epson documents an approximate black-ribbon life of three million characters. Black/red cartridge life varies between the black and red portions.
Use a ribbon compatible with the exact printer model and required print colour.
One Original and One Copy
The printer can support one original plus one copy using suitable multi-part paper.
This may be useful for:
- Kitchen and cashier copies
- Service records
- Delivery documentation
- Workshop job slips
- Internal transaction records
The TM-U220 does not support every possible multi-part form, so the intended paper should be tested before bulk purchase.
Wall-Mounting Option
The TM-U220B can be wall mounted using Epson’s compatible wall-hanging bracket, such as the WH-10, where appropriate.
Wall mounting may help:
- Save counter space
- Keep the printer away from spills
- Position kitchen tickets for easier collection
- Print the order in a readable orientation
The bracket is not necessarily included and should be confirmed separately.
