The past year and a half of the ongoing pandemic has drastically changed the retail environment with more businesses rolling out self-checkout kiosks for a contact-free experience, which is something this new Epson printer is especially for.
The printer makes use of thermal receipt paper to quickly and effectively print out receipts, and is designed with compactness in mind to allow for easier implementation into self-serve kiosks. The printer will also feature a bezel option to prevent paper jams, LEDs for alerts and will use 30% less paper than alternatives.
Group Product Manager, Business Systems at Epson America Inc. Mauricio Chacon spoke on the new Epson printer saying, "The world has changed in the last 18 months, and self-service is a growing trend that isn't going anywhere. As businesses adjust operations in order to best serve customers, we provide the optimal POS solutions to maximize profitability. The new EU-m30 offers kiosk-friendly features for both new and existing kiosk designs, and delivers durability, ease of use, remote management, and easy troubleshooting that retail and hospitality environments require."
