Model 181 Specifications


 

Meet the Ithaca® Model 181 front-exit/front-load thermal POS printer. Our newest POS printer is designed for the harsh reality of restaurant and hospitality life: Spills happen. Luckily, the Ithaca Model 181 printer doesn't care. Because it's been carefully engineered to channel away spills - so that liquids won't harm the printer. Other practical features? It has both front-exiting receipt and front-loading paper convenience. Its vertically mounted board is elevated to resist spills from both the top and bottom. It prints crisp, clear graphics and logos. It's a convenient, compact size. And of course, like all Ithaca printers, the Model 181 is backed by Ithaca's solid reputation for quality and reliability.
