Features for printing versatile
documents and forms

Epson’s TM-U590 is the printer-of­choice for businesses that need the
ability to print a wide range of slips
and documents. This highly versatile
printer can handle slip printing up to
88 columns (using 7x9 fonts/half
dots), print original slips and up to
four copies — and do it all smoothly.
But if a paper jam occurs, slips are
easily removed. The TM-U590 also
comes standard with an extended
table, so larger slips are inserted flat
and fed straight into the printer.

Customers appreciate the speed

Because nothing is more important to
your business than fast, efficient
customer service, the TM-U590’s
bi-directional logic-seeking printing
delivers 311 characters per second.

Consider a “mate” for your
TM-U590 printer

Want another great product? The
TM-U590 is compatible with Epson’s
IntelliTrans family of transaction

terminals. It’s a combination that not
only offers a much smaller footprint
than standard POS systems, it also
gives you a broader range of business
applications to choose from.

For total compatibility,
just Connect-It

With Epson’s exclusive Connect-It
interface options, the TM-U590 is
totally compatible with today’s best­of-breed and component-based
