New York, NY, January 15, 2017– Today, at the National Retail Federation’s Annual Convention and Expo, Epson America, Inc., a leading supplier of value-added Point of Sale (POS) solutions, announced the OmniLink® TM-H6000V multifunction thermal receipt printer. Designed with significant business critical improvements, it is ideal for merchants in retail as well as financial institutions that want to enhance the overall transaction experience for their customers. Available from Epson authorized channel partners now, Epson will be demonstrating the new solution at NRF, January 14- 16 at the Jacob K.Javits Convention Center, NYC, booth #4033.
According to the November, 2017 Grocery Tech Trends Study by RIS News and Progressive Grocer, POS is the core of the store for grocery retailers (and other retail segments, too). It not only manages checkout and keeps a record of transactions, but it connects the information to dozens of other essential enterprise applications. The study adds that despite downplaying the immediate threat of Amazon, a huge majority of grocers (85%) clearly believe that developing their own digital capabilities should be placed at the top of their tech investment priority list. Epson recognizes this and ensures merchants have access to the latest POS solutions that help provide the essential capabilities they need.
Designed with significant business critical improvements, the OmniLink TM-H6000V multifunction hybrid printer supports advanced functionality to 'future proof' the product for many years to come. With dynamic multi-interface connectivity (including built-in Ethernet and USB interfaces), it can be shared by mobile devices and legacy POS terminals. Designed for the cloud, the TM-H6000V helps businesses leverage printing from Web-based apps including online ordering services, so they’re ready for the ever-changing world of retail. Remote printer monitoring means less down time and an intuitive control panel provides clear error indications. The TM-H6000V also facilitates distributed proximity-based printing with Beacon and NFC technologies, and offers advanced paper-saving features.
“Today’s retailers and merchants require affordable POS solutions that can grow with their businesses and boost their customers’ overall transaction experiences,” said Gregg Brunnick, director of product management for POS Printers, Epson America Inc. “To accomplish that, they need their hybrid solutions to support multiple transaction workflows with built-in future proofing features. Our new OmniLink TM-H6000V allows customers to transact nearly anywhere and anytime, lessens solution down time and creates fewer service calls. And in bringing our OmniLink TM-T88VI’s advanced connectivity and horsepower to this new multifunction printer, we are meeting the latest requirements so they can stay ahead of the competition.”
