Epson TM-L90 Plus Receipt and Barcode Label Printer

The Epson TM-L90 Plus is a receipt and barcode label printer that is designed for use in Point of Sale (POS) environments, particularly in retail and hospitality settings. It is a versatile and reliable thermal printer that can print both receipts and barcode labels, making it ideal for businesses that need to print customer receipts and item labels quickly and efficiently.

Key Features of the Epson TM-L90 Plus:

1. Thermal Printing Technology:

   • The TM-L90 Plus uses direct thermal printing technology, meaning it doesn't require ink or ribbons. Instead, it uses heat to print on specially coated thermal paper, making it cost-effective and low-maintenance.

2. Dual Functionality (Receipts and Labels):

   • The TM-L90 Plus is designed to print both receipts and barcode labels. This dual functionality makes it ideal for businesses that require a single printer to handle different types of printing needs.

   • The printer can handle both continuous paper (for receipts) and label rolls, making it versatile for various retail and POS applications.

3. High-Speed Printing:

   • The printer offers fast printing speeds (up to 200mm per second), allowing businesses to serve customers quickly and efficiently. This speed is especially useful in high-volume retail environments.

4. Compact and Space-Saving Design:

   • The TM-L90 Plus has a compact design, making it suitable for environments where counter space is limited. It is easy to fit into POS setups without taking up too much room.

5. High-Resolution Printing:

   • It offers high-quality printing with 203 dpi resolution, making it capable of printing crisp, clear text and barcodes. This is essential for printing readable receipts and scannable barcode labels.

6. Flexible Connectivity:

   • The TM-L90 Plus supports a range of connectivity options, including USB, Ethernet, Serial, and Bluetooth, making it compatible with a wide variety of POS systems.

   • This flexibility ensures that it can integrate seamlessly into your existing POS infrastructure.

7. Durable and Reliable:

   • Built to withstand high-volume printing, the TM-L90 Plus is designed for long-lasting durability, which is essential in busy retail and hospitality environments.

   • Its long service life and low maintenance needs make it a reliable choice for daily use.

8. Compatibility:

   • The TM-L90 Plus is compatible with POS software that supports Epson printers, including popular POS systems used in retail and hospitality.

   • It also works with various barcode label formats, including 1D and 2D barcodes, which are essential for inventory tracking and product labeling.

How It Works with Your POS System:

1. Receipt Printing:

   • The Epson TM-L90 Plus can print customer receipts that include transaction details such as the total amount, item names, prices, taxes, and payment methods. These receipts can also include barcode information, promotional details, or loyalty program data, depending on the setup.

   • Receipt design is typically customized within your POS software. The POS system sends the necessary receipt data (e.g., transaction total and item details) to the printer, and it prints the receipt on the thermal paper.

2. Barcode Label Printing:

   • For businesses that sell products with barcodes (such as retail stores or supermarkets), the TM-L90 Plus can print barcode labels. These labels are typically affixed to products for tracking, inventory management, and checkout.

   • The printer communicates with the POS software, which uses a product database to retrieve the relevant information for barcode label printing. The POS software sends data, such as product name, price, and barcode, to the printer, which then prints the barcode label on label stock.

   • The TM-L90 Plus can print both 1D barcodes (like UPC codes) and 2D barcodes (like QR codes), which are used for a variety of applications in retail and logistics.

3. Connectivity and Integration:

   • To work with your POS system, the Epson TM-L90 Plus connects to the POS terminal via USB, Ethernet, Serial, or Bluetooth.

   • Once connected, the printer is set up in the POS software. During a sale, when an item is scanned or entered into the system, the POS system will send the print command to the TM-L90 Plus to either print a receipt or generate a barcode label.

4. Label Printing Workflow:

   • If you are using the printer for labeling products (for example, in a retail store), you will typically have the following workflow:

     • The POS system will allow you to input or scan the product information (e.g., product name, price, and barcode) into the system.

     • The printer will print a barcode label with this information, which can then be affixed to the product for easy scanning during checkout.

5. Receipt Workflow:

   • When a customer makes a purchase, the cashier will finalize the sale on the POS terminal.

   • The POS system sends the sale information (items, prices, taxes, total) to the Epson TM-L90 Plus, which will print the receipt for the customer.

   • If the transaction includes products with barcodes, the printer will also print the relevant barcode on the receipt, which can be scanned for returns or future reference.

5. Space-Saving:
