Design

The Epson TM-U375 is one of the world’s smallest POS multi-function printers, measuring 7.3 x 12.9 x 5.7 in and weighing just 8.8 lb. Using logic seeking technology for high-speed printing, it has two input points for validations and slips, with validation paper inserted from the top and slip paper from the front. It incorporates free format printing in the page mode and paper rolls can be easily loaded using a handy paper roll switch mechanism. The unit has two-drawer control capability, and there are two selectable character sizes.

Advantages

The small size and powerful capabilities of this compact and attractive machine make it indispensable for a POS environment, where reliability of performance and ease of handling are priorities. With its range of character sizes and ease of loading it can be operated by inexperienced users within minutes, and it is unobtrusive in a POS situation. It can be used as an independent intelligent module or connected up to a computer, and with a print resolution of 16 cpi it renders even the smallest print clearly visible on receipts.

Disadvantages

The small size of the TM-U375 means that it can take only one paper roll at a time, which can be inconvenient in a particularly busy POS environment. Also, the use of wired-only technology may be seen as a drawback by users who see their business moving into a completely Wi-Fi future.
