POS Retail Supplies Guide: Choosing a Used Receipt Printer

Compare four used POS receipt printer options by role: a low-priced Epson TM-T88IV, a front-control Epson TM-T70, a non-Bluetooth Star Micronics TSP650II, and a 10-printer Epson lot.

Last updated Jul 11

Choosing pos retail supplies often comes down to a practical question: do you need one receipt printer for a counter, a clearly non-Bluetooth unit for a wired setup, or a multi-printer lot for several stations? The four options here are all used receipt-printer choices, but they differ sharply in count, model family, connectivity wording, included power items, and listed price.

Quick take

  • Lowest listed cost: EPSON Receipt POS Printer USB TM-T88IV M129H - PS-180 Power supply is the leanest choice when the main goal is a single Epson USB receipt printer with a PS-180 power supply.
  • Best fit for under-counter workflow wording: EPSON TM-T70 M225A Thermal POS Receipt Printer w USB Port & power supply stands out for front-facing controls, front paper feeding, and drop-in paper rolls.
  • Best non-Bluetooth pick: Star Micronics TSP650II Receipt Printer With Power Supply - NOT Bluetooth is the clearest choice when avoiding Bluetooth is part of the requirement.
  • Best multi-unit purchase: Lot of 10" Epson TM-H6000IV USB Thermal POS Printer - PS180 Power Supplies too is the only option here described as an order with 10 printers.

Listed price comparison

The spread is wide: the lowest listed option is 94% below the highest listed option. That makes the single-printer choices very different from the multi-printer lot in how they should be evaluated.

Concise product notes

EPSON TM-T70 M225A Thermal POS Receipt Printer w USB Port & power supply

This Epson TM-T70 is the most workflow-specific single-printer option because its description calls out front-facing controls, under-counter operations, front paper feeding, drop-in paper rolls, and an auto-cutter. It is also named with a USB port and power supply, so it suits a buyer looking for a wired receipt-printer setup without needing to piece together those items from the title alone. The limitation is that it is used, and the attributes list the machine compatibility only as "Many," which is less specific than a named operating environment. Choose it when the front-access design matters more than simply picking the lowest listed cost.

Lot of 10" Epson TM-H6000IV USB Thermal POS Printer - PS180 Power Supplies too

The Epson TM-H6000IV lot is the obvious scale option because each order is described as coming with 10 printers, and the title includes PS180 power supplies too. It also differs from the other Epson receipt printers by being described as a multifunction POS printer with receipt and slip printing, endorsement, and check-processing wording. The tradeoff is commitment: a lot of 10 is not aimed at someone who needs just one counter printer, and it carries the highest listed price in this group. It makes the most sense when the "Lot of 10" title phrase is a benefit rather than excess.

EPSON Receipt POS Printer USB TM-T88IV M129H - PS-180 Power supply

The Epson TM-T88IV M129H is the most direct low-cost Epson choice, with a listed price of USD 29.95 and a title that names USB plus a PS-180 power supply. Its description also places it in Epson's TM-T88 POS printer series and mentions thermal receipt printing, drop-in paper loading, an autocutter, and Auto Status Back messages. A key limitation is that the attributes do not list USB under connectivity in the same way the other single-printer options do, even though USB appears in the title and description. This is a practical pick when model M129H and PS-180 wording are the main match points.

Star Micronics TSP650II Receipt Printer With Power Supply - NOT Bluetooth

The Star Micronics TSP650II is the clearest alternative to the Epson choices, especially for shoppers who want the title to rule out Bluetooth. The attributes list USB connectivity, JamFree Auto-Cutter, retail industry, model 654II, and thermal print method, while the description also mentions Ethernet and USB ports. Its limitation is condition-related: it is used, with some wear and slight dirtiness mentioned. The title's "With Power Supply" wording is helpful, but this is not the right pick for someone specifically shopping for Bluetooth because the title says NOT Bluetooth in plain terms.

Final recommendation

For most shoppers choosing one used receipt printer for pos retail supplies, start with the EPSON Receipt POS Printer USB TM-T88IV M129H - PS-180 Power supply if the goal is the lowest listed cost and the title's USB plus PS-180 wording fits the setup. It is the simplest price-led choice in the group.

Move up to the EPSON TM-T70 M225A Thermal POS Receipt Printer w USB Port & power supply when front-facing controls, front paper feeding, and under-counter operation wording are more important than the absolute lowest price. Its description is the most focused on counter workflow.

Pick the Star Micronics TSP650II Receipt Printer With Power Supply - NOT Bluetooth when the key requirement is a used thermal receipt printer that explicitly is not Bluetooth and still lists USB connectivity. That title phrase removes ambiguity for shoppers avoiding wireless pairing.

Choose the Lot of 10" Epson TM-H6000IV USB Thermal POS Printer - PS180 Power Supplies too only if the multi-unit count is the point. The price spread is large, but the lot is not trying to compete as a single-printer bargain; it is the only option framed around 10 Epson TM-H6000IV units with PS180 power supplies.
