EPSON Roots

EPSON first made its mark with a digital watch featuring micromechatronics and electronic technology. It later developed a printing timer that was chosen as the official timekeeper at the 1964 Olympics. Following this EPSON began to diversity, and four years later, started selling the EP-101, the worlds’ first mini printer for electronic calculator applications. Vastly superior to its bulky competitors, this ultra-compact printer proved to be a huge hit across the world. The EP-101 heralded the start of EPSON’s multi-faceted business expansion, giving rise to many other products or “sons”. In fact, the name EPSON is a combination of the EP from the EP-101 and SON, EPSON, a name associated with unique high quality products around the world.

EP-101

Co-Existence

In Harmony With The Environment

In line with its commitment to maintaining harmony with nature, EPSON has implemented a wide range of measures to protect the environment. These began more than ten years ago, with the declaration that the company would stop using CFCs. Other examples include the reduction of CO facilities, reduction of waste materials, and recycling. This careful attention to the environment has enabled a number of EPSON factories to acquire ISO14001 certification.

Unrivalled Quality

All EPSON products have one thing in common – outstanding quality. This is the result of the careful attention we pay to customers’ particular requirements. Thanks to this superior quality, EPSON was the first mini printer manufacturer to acquire accreditation for ISO9001, the strictest of the ISO9000 international quality standards, covering every aspect of quality control, from quality assurance systems to services. Approved by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization, ISO9001 compliance is just another example of the measures EPSON takes to bring you total product satisfaction.

Best Printing Solution for Your Needs

EPSON’s extensive line of Thermal and Impact (both serial dot and shuttle dot) printers cover a wide range of user needs. Our models range from compact, lowpower units on the low end to powerful, heavy-duty units on the high end. From such applications as Hand-held terminals, CAT/EFT, to ATM/CD, and Kiosks etc., we fully answer your most advanced needs.

EPSON Printing Technologies

The history of the impact printer began more than thirty years ago, with the EP-101. Over the decades, impact printers have steadily evolved. Never complacent as the frontrunner, EPSON has continued to innovate and refine its impact printer technology.

Impact

Thermal

Inkjet

Our impact models are highly reliable, cost effective, and compact. These characteristics have helped EPSON win an overwhelming and lasting share of the business printer market.

The advanced technology, know-how, and experience EPSON gained in impact printing has been transferred to a mastery of thermal printing. Like our impact printers, our thermal printers boast extremely high reliability, an EPSON hallmark. Add to that the quiet operation and attractive print of the thermal printer line, and it is easy to see why these products continue to rapidly grow into new applications in a variety of fields.

Widely acknowledged as the ideal for printing high quality color images from a PC, inkjet technology offers customer benefits such as fast, silent, graphic-rich printout. Even more interesting is the fact that inkjet printers can use plain paper rolls, and offer the possibility of color output (not just black, red, or purple, as is the case today). EPSON’s expertise in inkjet technology, combined with its understanding of the demands of the customer’s environment, means that it is in a unique position to meet this challenge.

EPSON Advanced Printer Drivers

(for EU-T500 series, EU-T400 series and M/BA-T500 series)

EPSON advanced printer drivers make it easy. Available for Windows® 95/98/NT 4.0

/ 2000 and XP, and Linux

make it so easy to develop applications software, saving you time and money.

And that's not all. In addition to printer drivers, the EPSON Advanced Printer Drivers

help keep your system running with an invaluable status monitor and maintenance

counter.

Allowing you to check the current status of your equipment, the status monitor is an

essential tool that helps you to monitor consumables and solve errors. And for remote

terminal use, EPSON provides software that allows printer status monitoring from the

PC side. The maintenance counter, on the other hand, informs you of operating data

about parts such as the autocutter, retractor and print head. This reduces time by

helping you determine when maintenance is needed - before it is needed. EPSON

advanced printer drivers for efficient system operation.
