EPSON TM-L90
a revolution
in label printing
EPSON brings you the TM-L90, its revolutionary new label printer. Until now, label
printers have been placed at the back, in the stockroom - anywhere so they can’t
be seen by customers. But EPSON’s new TM-L90 thermal label printer changes all
that. Designed for retailers, post offices, and all other establishments that need to
print labels – fast – in front of customers, its attractive, practical design makes it
ideal for businesses that rely on face-to-face customer contact. And it’s not only
speed and versatile paper handling that sets the TM-L90 in a class of its own.
A first for a printer of its type, the TM-L90 gives users the choice of printing in
either one or two colours. Logos and highlighting are just some of the exciting
design possibilities that are opening up – with the EPSON TM-L90.
Label Printing
Whether they contain barcodes, addresses, or other vital information, printed labels are
fast becoming a necessity in a variety of consumer-orientated businesses. For retailers
of all kinds, ticketing agencies, post offices or delivery companies, a fast, accurate and
versatile label printer has become an absolute must. And that is where EPSON comes
in. The fastest label printer in its class* – and the first of its kind that can print in two
colours* – the TM-L90 is revolutionising the way that labels are printed.
2-Colour Printing†
The ability to print in two colours puts the EPSON TM-L90 in a class of its own.*
Previously unknown in such a printer, this exciting new feature enables users to print
their logo and to highlight the parts of the label or ticket they want to emphasise.
Printing in two colours not only opens up a new world of design possibilities, but is
sure to impress customers too.
†To print in two colours, users must load dedicated thermal paper and set the printer to the 2-colour printing mode.

High-speed
There’s no need to keep customers waiting with the EPSON TM-L90 Printing at a
maximum speed of 150 mm/sec, there’s no doubt that it’s the fastest printer in its
class* – even when printing barcodes and logos * 2-colour printing speed is 50 mm/sec
Large paper rolls
The EPSON TM-L90 provides you with all-round paper-handling versatility The
ability to handle paper rolls of up to 90 mm in diameter reduces paper-loading
downtime and saves on the cost of purchasing label paper
Selectable paper width
You don’t have to buy another printer to print on different size paper With a simple
spacer adjustment, users can adjust the TM-L90 to suit a variety of label types and
sizes Available paper widths range from 38-70 mm (with spacer), or 80 mm
superior design
Compact
A compact design and small footprint makes the TM-L90 ideal for counters with
limited space Its low profile means that face-to-face contact with your customers is
unimpeded, and there are no sharp corners or jutting out parts to get in the way
Cable management
The TM-L90 avoids the problem of unsightly cables by having all its interfaces
located beneath the main unit With convenient holes providing flexibility for
installation, there’s no need for cables to detract from the atmosphere of your
establishment
Easy to site
Available in two attractive colours, the TM-L90 is designed to blend into even the
most refined of establishments Install the printer vertically or horizontally, or use the
optional wall-hanging bracket to move it off the counter altogether
usability
Easy operation and maintenance
The TM-L90 is so easy to use that it requires almost no training for even the most
inexperienced of staff With no complicated paper feeding, the drop-in loading
method allows operators to open the door and load new paper in a few short seconds
Reliable
There’s nothing more annoying for you – and your customers – than paper jams Not
only are paper jams unlikely with the TM-L90, but they are easy to clear when they
do occur A long lifespan allows your TM-L90 to print up to one million labels or
twenty million lines (MCBF: Seventy million lines when printing receipt)
Flexibility
The EPSON TM-L90 can be operated using all standard commands and drivers for
the retail environment For Asian markets, a variety of languages are supported as a
factory option
