Product notes
Epson M129H TM-T88IV Thermal POS Receipt Printer USB Printer w Power Supply
Pick this Epson M129H TM-T88IV when USB is part of the intended POS connection.

Epson TM-T88IV Model M129H Thermal POS Printer with Power Supply
This Epson TM-T88IV Model M129H is the choice for shoppers focused on a lower listed entry point while still getting a used thermal POS printer and included power supply. At USD 68.99, it is the less expensive of the two options. It is stated to power on and complete a self-test, which gives its condition description a concrete functional detail.
