Compact slip printer for teller stations

The Epson TM-U295P-242 is a desktop impact dot-matrix receipt printer built for point-of-sale counters and teller windows. Its ultra-small footprint preserves workspace while delivering reliable multi-part slip printing. The unit ships in open-box condition and requires a separate 24 V DC power supply (part C825343) to operate.

Parallel interface decides compatibility

Connection is made through a parallel port only, so the host system must provide that interface. The printer accepts 35 or 42 columns per line and prints at 2.1 lines per second using a 7-pin shuttle head. ESC/POS command language and a 512-byte buffer handle standard POS data streams.

Fits tight counters, needs external power

Dimensions of 7.5 by 7.1 by 4 inches and a weight of 3.5 lbs let the printer sit on crowded desks without blocking other devices. It produces one original plus two copies for transaction records. No power supply, cable or paper roll is included, so those items must be sourced separately before installation.

Questions about this item

How long does a typical multi-part slip take at the 2.1 lps print speed?

At 2.1 lines per second the TM-U295P-242 prints a 35-line slip in about 17 seconds, keeping counter queues moving.

What does the parallel interface cap in practice?

The parallel port limits throughput to the printer's 2.1 lps rating, so the host cannot push data faster than the mechanism can print.

What does the TM-U295P-242 need to fit on a counter?

It occupies a 7.5 by 7.1 inch footprint and weighs 3.5 lbs, so it sits on any standard teller station without extra mounting hardware.
