SUMMARY: Model TM-U220A is larger, has a take-up device and can't be wall mounted. Model TM-U220B and TM-U220D are essentially copies of each other except that the D model has no autocutter. (Scroll past the table for additional images of take-up device and wall mounting.)

About The Author: Camille Meehan, POSLady since 2011, is the dame to talk to when you've got a printing question. The host of many POSGuys videos she now pulls the strings in the shadows of Ask POSGuys, plotting total global printer domination. She rules over the kitchen printers with an iron ribbon smashing fist, a BA in design, and over eight years print/design experience. Note: Camille does get this TM-U220 question a LOT and for her sanity, this post now exists.
