Rarely will a manufacturer wouldn’t go above and beyond to include a feature in its equipment that would address the needs of a minuscule percentage of end-users. But when even one or two percent can represent millions in revenue, that unwritten rule goes right out the window.
Epson America knows this to be true, as evidenced in the recent release of its OmniLink TM-H6000VI multifunction hybrid receipt printer, dubbed the fastest in the industry.1 The new model is designed to support retailers, grocers and financial institutions as they adapt to new payment trends, while still needing to support existing point-of-sale (POS) transaction methods.
Phones and Apple watches may be leading the way in modern transactional methods, yet an old but trusted payment method—the humble check—is still largely relevant, at least from a sales volume point of view. David Vander Dussen, product manager for Epson America, points out that the TM-H6000VI— which dovetails with high-volume environments in need of performance and reliability—also boasts high MICR processing accuracy.
While Vander Dussen acknowledges check use is far less prevalent today, some of the OEM’s largest end-users derive significant revenue from the ability to process them. “A significant percentage of our larger customers are doing a percentage point or two of their revenue through checks,” he said. “When those clients are doing billions in revenue, that 1-2% can equate to tens of millions. It’s important for them to service check customers, and that’s where this product comes in.”
Offering lightning-fast print speeds, accurate check processing and engineering for reliability, the OmniLink TM-H6000VI is an ideal choice for demanding high-volume businesses that want to enhance the overall transaction experience for their customers.
The OmniLink TM-H6000VI multifunction hybrid POS receipt printer with check processing replaces the TM-H6000V and TM-H2000 printer models, delivering fast print speeds up to 500 mm/sec.2 The printer also has an MICR accuracy of 99.9%, enabling incredibly quick and efficient check processing as well as robust slip and endorsement printing. The new model offers a long printhead and auto cutter life,3 a water-resistant enclosure that is easy to clean and a two-year limited warranty for advanced reliability.
Featuring dynamic multiplatform support for traditional POS terminals and mobile devices, the robust OmniLink TM-H6000VI enables system flexibility based on business needs. In addition, the printer’s advanced paper-saving options help businesses lower costs and operating expenses by reducing paper usage up to 49%.4 Remote status monitoring5 and management of the printer enables businesses to get access to the printer’s status, maintenance counters, part life expectancy and settings, from virtually anywhere, helping to minimize downtime and disruptions to business operations.
Additional OmniLink TM-H6000VI Features
Designed specifically with demanding high-volume businesses in mind, additional features include:
- Online ordering capability6 – Server Direct Print function allows the printer to retrieve orders from a Web server and print a receipt without requiring POS software integration
- Flexible setup and configuration – Epson TM Utility app7 streamlines the setup process; additional memory enables multilingual support on each printer
- POS peripheral support – Supports POS peripherals such as payment terminals and customer displays
The multilingual support is not to be overlooked. Previously, end-users needed to obtain separate language packs to print other language characters. This, Vander Dussen noted, makes the TM-H6000VI truly an international POS tool
“We brought the sixth generation up to match our other key flagship products,” he said. “Including many of the core features across all the printers provides a consistent experience for our customers.”
