The Epson TM-L90LF is a compact, reliable thermal printer for liner-free labels and thermal receipts – ideal for quick-service restaurants, food delivery and takeaway, cafés, retail and logistics. Liner-free labels have no backing paper, so there is nothing to peel off and no liner waste to throw away. It prints receipts at up to 170 mm/s and liner-free labels at up to 90 mm/s in 203 dpi on 80, 58 or 40 mm media, takes rolls up to 102 mm in diameter, and its label-taken sensor prints the next label only when the previous one has been removed. This version, C31C412682, is the liner-free model with serial (RS-232) + built-in USB; it comes with an Epson PS-180 power supply – the power cord (C13) and interface cables are not included.

Key Features
- Liner-free labels – no backing paper, no waste – more labels per roll, nothing to peel off or dispose of, and variable label length, so every label is exactly as long as its content.
- Labels and receipts in one printer – prints liner-free labels (up to 90 mm/s) and standard thermal receipt paper (up to 170 mm/s) at 203 dpi on 80, 58 or 40 mm media, with automatic media type and paper width detection.
- One label at a time – the label-taken sensor prints the next label only after the previous one has been removed – perfect for busy kitchens and order stations.
- Media-saving features – the auto-cutter can cut through adhesive areas, automatic top-margin reduction, back feed and line-feed adjustment cut media consumption.
- Serial + built-in USB – connect it to a POS PC via USB or to POS systems via RS-232; the exchangeable Epson interface board (UIB) can later be swapped for Ethernet or parallel.
- Large 102 mm rolls – fewer roll changes at peak times.
- Upright, flat or on the wall – only 140 mm wide; install it vertically, horizontally or on a wall with the optional WH-10 bracket.
- Cash drawer support – the drawer kick-out port drives up to two cash drawers.
- Built for reliability – MTBF of 360,000 hours, a print head life of 150 km on receipt paper (75 km on liner-free labels) and a 12-month Epson warranty.
