The EP802-TM: A Bright Solution for Outdoor Environments 

In its original design, the EP802-TM thermal printer included a smart bezel that worked flawlessly indoors. However, in outdoor environments, the sensor struggled with direct sunlight. This interference led to misreads and operational failures, restricting its use in outdoor ticketing and kiosk applications. 

As demand grows for outdoor thermal printers in high-traffic areas such as EV charging stations, parking terminals, and transportation ticket machines, the limitations of indoor-only designs became a missed opportunity. Businesses required a reliable outdoor printer that could function seamlessly under all conditions.

The Solution: Eurocoin’s EP802-TM Outdoor Bezel

Eurocoin developed the EP802-TM Outdoor Bezel to overcome these challenges. The new bezel, produced in dense black, effectively blocks excess sunlight from reaching the sensor, ensuring accurate performance even in direct exposure. 

The design also includes a double-deck structure that prevents dust and water from compromising the outdoor ticket printer. This protection allows the anti-drag and anti-block features to function reliably, keeping transactions smooth in outdoor environments. For added safety, the bezel’s lid prevents finger pinching during paper roll changes, an extra touch that reinforces Eurocoin’s commitment to user-friendly innovation.

The Impact: Expanding Operational Possibilities

With its upgraded bezel, the EP802-TM can now operate confidently in locations where standard printers fall short. This advancement opens new opportunities for businesses to expand their self-service solutions outdoors, including: 

• Transportation ticket machines – reliable service in train stations and bus stops. 

• Self-service kiosks – enabling installations in outdoor shopping areas or entertainment venues. 

• Parking terminals – delivering a durable solution for car parks and toll booths. 

• Outdoor vending machines – ensuring smooth transactions around the clock. 

• EV charging stations – supporting the fast-growing network of outdoor self-service charging points.

By transforming into a true outdoor kiosk printer, the EP802-TM gives businesses the freedom to operate beyond indoor spaces, without compromising performance.
