Epson TM-T20 Thermal Paper Rolls 3 1/8 x 230 ft | Fits TM-T20 to TM-T20IV | BPA-Free American Made

Epson TM-T20 Paper Size: 3 1/8 in (80mm) x 230 ft Thermal Rolls

Thermal paper for the Epson TM-T20, TM-T20II, TM-T20III and TM-T20IV is 3 1/8 in (80mm) wide, and these rolls run 230 ft each. Every printer in the TM-T20 series takes the same roll, so one box covers the front counter, the bar and the back office without checking which generation sits where.

Epson built the TM-T20 for small retail stores, restaurants and grocery counters, the places where a printer that runs dry mid-rush means a line of people waiting on a receipt. A full 230 ft roll means fewer stops to reload, and the same roll comes in packs of 6 all the way up to a 50-roll case.

Key Features

• ✅ Fits every TM-T20 generation: TM-T20, TM-T20II, TM-T20III and TM-T20IV
• ✅ 2.75 in (70mm) across, under the 83mm roll limit Epson sets for the series, so the cover closes cleanly
• ✅ No ink and no ribbon: receipts come out dark and sharp from the first slip to the last
• ✅ A warning indicator shows up as the roll runs low, so the next one is ready before the paper runs out
• ✅ BPA-free coating for the staff handing out receipts and the customers taking them home
• ✅ Made in the United States to one specification, the same roll in every pack size

Specifications

▶ Which TM-T20 Printers Use This Paper

Epson lists the same paper for every printer in the series: 80mm wide (79.5mm, plus or minus 0.5mm) on a roll no more than 83mm (3.27 in) across. That covers:

• TM-T20, the original model

• TM-T20II, including the Ethernet Plus model

• TM-T20III, in its USB, parallel, Ethernet and wireless versions

• TM-T20IV, the current model, which Epson names as the replacement for the TM-T20III

▶ How to Load a Roll in the TM-T20

1. Open the cover.
2. Take out the empty core from the last roll.
3. Set the new roll in the bay.
4. Pull out a little paper and close the cover.

Blank receipt after loading? The roll went in backwards. Open the cover, flip the roll over and print again.

▶ Will This Roll Fit?

✅ 3 1/8 in (80mm) x 230 ft thermal: the size the TM-T20 series is built for, 2.75 in across against Epson's 83mm limit

❌ Rolls larger than 3.27 in (83mm) across: the cover will not close on them

❌ 2 1/4 in (58mm) rolls: the printer has to be converted with Epson's 58mm roll paper guide, and Epson's TM-T20III guide warns it cannot be switched back to 80mm afterward

❌ Bond or carbonless register rolls: the TM-T20 prints with heat, so plain paper comes out blank

▶ Troubleshooting Paper Problems

• Blank receipts on a new roll: the roll is upside down. Flip it over so the coated side meets the print head.

• Faint or light gray print on a fresh roll: the print head is dirty, usually with residue left by earlier paper. Clean it with rubbing alcohol on a lint-free rag or a cotton ball, let it dry, then print again.

• Cover will not close: the roll is too big across for the bay. These rolls measure 2.75 in, under Epson's 83mm limit.

▶ Why BPA-Free Matters

A receipt passes through a lot of hands: the cashier all shift, then the customer on the way out. These rolls use a BPA-free coating, so that is one less thing to think about when a receipt changes hands.

▶ Made in the USA, Same Roll Every Order

These rolls are made in the United States to one specification. The 6-pack and the 50-roll case hold the same roll, so the fit you get on your first order is the fit you get on every one after it.

▶ How Many Rolls to Order

• 6 rolls: a spare stack for a printer that only prints now and then

• 12 rolls: a steady supply for a single register

• 18 or 24 rolls: a busier counter, or a few printers sharing one stockroom

• 50-roll case: the lowest cost per roll and the fewest reorders
