Star SP500 Feature Comparison
vs Epson TM-U200
Feature: Print Speed
Thanks to efficient logic seeking design, Star out
performs the TM-U200 whether printing a full 42
columns or only a few characters on each line.
Feature: Foot Print
The Star SP500 series has a smaller footprint
than the TM-U200. In addition this small foot-
print includes the internal universal power supply,
eliminating the cable mess typically associated with
an external power supply like the Epson printer
has.
Feature: Tear Bar, Cutter
and Rewinder Combinations
The Star SP500 allows a rewinder to be
installed on both tear bar and auto cutter models.
There is not an option to add a rewinder to a
tear bar equipped TM-U200.
Feature: Single Color Highlight
The SP500 utilizes cost effective single-color
highlight printing. The Epson TM-U200 series utilizes
two-color printing. Two-color printing requires the
use of a more expensive and shorter life ribbon
cassette, and also increases the amount of nec-
essary moving parts in the printer, resulting in
more service calls.
