Product identity

The TransAct Ithaca iTherm 280 is a direct thermal receipt printer built for kiosk and point-of-sale environments. It produces monochrome output at 203 x 203 dpi using thermal print technology and connects via USB.

Build and connectivity

The unit operates on 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz and ships with a power cord and USB cable. A built-in cutter separates each receipt, and the maximum print width is 3.15 inches.

Deciding specification

The 203 dpi resolution determines whether text, barcodes and graphics meet your legibility requirements. Buyers who need higher detail for small labels or graphics should consider a printer with a finer dot pitch.

Questions about this item

What does the USB interface on the iTherm 280 cap in practice?

The USB connection carries print data and power signalling; throughput is limited by the printer's 203 dpi thermal engine and 1 MB buffer rather than the USB link itself.

What physical space and mounting does the kiosk-style iTherm 280 require?

The unit supports a maximum print width of 3.15 inches and is designed for kiosk integration; allow clearance for the built-in cutter and paper roll loading.

How is the iTherm 280 installed and which step is often missed?

Connect the supplied USB cable and the 100-240 VAC power cord, load direct-thermal media up to 3.15 inches wide, and remember to install the printer driver before sending the first print job.
