Epson OmniLink TM-m30II Compact Thermal Receipt Printer 250 mm/sec USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi C31CJ27A9981

End of life. Epson has discontinued the TM-m30II. Its named successor is the OmniLink TM-m30III, which Barcode Printer Shop does not currently stock, and this configuration is out of stock. The nearest printer we can ship today is the Epson TM-T20III, which matches the m30II on 250 mm/sec printing at 203 dpi and on 80 mm and 58 mm paper, but is a conventional counter-top body rather than the m30II's 127 mm cube. If the compact footprint or OmniLink server-direct printing is the requirement, contact us before ordering.

Key Features

• Prints at up to 250 mm per second (9.84 in/sec) at 203 dpi for fast receipt throughput.
• Takes both 80 mm and 58 mm paper rolls, with the 58 mm roll guide supplied in the box.
• Auto cutter rated for 1.5 million cuts, so the mechanism outlasts most deployment cycles.
• Powered from an external 24 V DC adapter, which is included with this part number.
• Compact 127 mm cube footprint fits under a counter, beside a tablet or on a crowded till.
• Top-eject and front-eject orientations let the printer sit flat or upright as space allows.
• OmniLink server-direct printing drives the printer from a cloud or web point-of-sale system.
• Epson ePOS SDK supports iOS, Android and JavaScript alongside Windows, macOS and Linux.
• Wired Ethernet is retained alongside the supplied OT-WL06 dual-band Wi-Fi adapter.
• Energy-efficient design with a low standby draw, suited to always-on counter deployment.

Print Performance

The Epson TM-m30II (C31CJ27A9981) prints at up to 250 mm per second, about 9.84 inches per second, at 203 dpi, on either 80 mm or 58 mm paper rolls. The 58 mm roll paper guide is supplied in the box, so switching width is a matter of fitting the guide rather than ordering a part. The auto cutter is rated at 1.5 million cuts, which on a busy till running a few hundred receipts a day works out at a service life measured in years rather than months. Thermal line printing means no ribbon, so the only consumable is the paper roll itself.

Connectivity

C31CJ27A9981 is the wireless configuration, carrying built-in 802.11 wireless alongside USB Type-B and Ethernet 10/100Base-T/TX. Wired Ethernet is retained on the wireless model, so the printer can be commissioned on a cable and moved to Wi-Fi afterwards, or fall back to a cable where the wireless environment is poor. That combination suits a counter that has to serve both a fixed till and a tablet-based point of sale, which is the deployment this model is most often bought for.

Compact Footprint

The TM-m30II is built around a 127 mm cube, measuring 127 by 127 by 135 mm in top-eject orientation or 127 by 133 by 129 mm front-eject, and weighing about 1.3 kg. That is small enough to sit beside a tablet on a crowded counter, tuck under a shelf, or mount where a conventional receipt printer would not fit. The two paper-exit orientations are the practical part: top eject suits a printer sitting flat and visible, front eject suits one pushed back under a counter lip where the receipt needs to come out towards the customer.

Point of Sale Integration

The TM-m30II is an OmniLink printer, which means it can be driven directly by a cloud or web-based point-of-sale system through server-direct printing rather than needing a local host to render for it. Alongside that, Epson supplies the ePOS SDK for iOS, Android and JavaScript, TM Print Assistant for iOS and Android, OPOS and JavaPOS ADKs for Windows and Linux, the Advanced Printer Driver, a TM Virtual Port Driver, a macOS driver and a CUPS driver. In practice that covers tablet point of sale, browser-based tills and traditional Windows systems from the same hardware.

Power Supply

The TM-m30II takes 24 V DC at the printer from an external Epson AC adapter C1, model M235B, and that adapter is included with this part number. The distinction matters because the printer input is DC, not AC: the 100 to 230 V at 50 or 60 Hz figure that appears on the specification sheet is the adapter's mains side, and listings that describe this printer as taking 24 V AC are simply wrong. It is also worth noting that this adapter is not the PS-180 used elsewhere in Epson's POS range, so a spare from a different model is not necessarily interchangeable.

Availability Notes

Epson has discontinued the TM-m30II and named its successor, but discontinued does not mean unusable or unsupported: drivers, utilities and consumables remain available, and a printer already embedded in a working point-of-sale configuration has no reason to be replaced before it fails. Barcode Printer Shop carries C31CJ27A9981 for organisations matching an existing fleet, sourcing replacement units, or maintaining a configuration where introducing a new printer model would mean revalidating the integration. Confirm quantity requirements early, because remaining stock on a discontinued model is finite.

For retail, hospitality and service counters that need fast, dependable receipt printing from a proven Epson platform, the TM-m30II C31CJ27A9981 remains a solid choice while stock lasts. Contact us to learn more or secure this solution for your business today.
