The first PoS printer with front facing controls, Epson’s TM-T70 is specifically designed for under counter operations - ideal for retail and hospitality

Hemel Hempstead, 23 February 2006. Developed for total ease-of-use and convenience, Epson has introduced the TM-T70 - the first thermal PoS receipt printer to have front facing controls and paper loading - for fast, easy transactions and enhanced customer service in retail and hospitality. Specifically designed to meet the need for a space saving printing solution for under counter operations, Epson’s TM-T70 includes a range of core, user-friendly features including front paper feeding with drop-in paper rolls, auto-cutter, remote maintenance counter and easy access operator covers.

Offering the high quality and reliability of Epson’s world renowned TM-T88 series, the TM-T70 has a 180dpi print head for advanced text, graphics and barcode printing capability. Unlike many other printers, the compact TM-T70 boasts the same quiet, high-speed 170 mm/sec print speed for both text and graphics, and therefore is capable of delivering sophisticated and intelligent receipts in an instant to help reinforce brands and build customer loyalty.

Robust and resilient, the TM-T70 includes an external rear splash cover for increased spill resistance, enhanced cable management system, full auto status back reporting and optional annunciating buzzer.

“At Epson we continually innovate in order to develop solutions which meet the requirements of today’s market. The first to have front facing controls, the TM-T70 specifically answers the need for a compact PoS printer which can be operated and maintained with the minimum of effort,” commented Raj Parmar, marketing manager of Epson’s retail technology division. “The unique design, functionality and speed of theTM-T70 make it the ideal solution for many applications, from high-volume sales environments such as convenience stores to the most demanding fast food outlet,” he concluded.

The TM-T70 benefits from new drivers including OPoS ADK, Java and Win APD and is equipped with a range of interface options including parallel, serial, USB version 2, powered USB, ethernet and wireless for seamless integration with existing retail systems.
