The Epson TM-L90 is a compact, reliable thermal printer for labels, barcodes and receipts – ideal for post offices, pharmacies, supermarkets, deli and weighing counters, ticketing and logistics. It prints sharp 203 dpi labels and receipts at up to 150 mm/s on receipt paper, die-cut or continuous labels (with or without black mark) from 38 to 80 mm wide, takes rolls up to 90 mm in diameter and cuts every label cleanly with its auto-cutter. Drop-in paper loading, greyscale printing for logos and an exchangeable Epson interface board make it easy to use and to integrate. This version, C31C412412, is the serial (RS-232) + built-in USB model for PC-based POS systems, cash registers and scales; it comes with an Epson PS-180 power supply – the power cord (C13) and interface cables are not included.

⚠️ Please note: no interface cable is included. The printer cannot be connected to your computer or POS system without one – please order a USB cable separately: the Bixolon USB-KAB-G USB cable (USB A to B) fits, as does any standard USB 2.0 A-to-B printer cable. For the serial port (25-pin), the Bixolon SER-KAB-9-25 RS-232 cable (9-pin to 25-pin) fits. No power cord is included either – the PS-180 power supply needs a mains cable with a C13 connector: the Epson 2119140 power cord (EU/Schuko plug) or the Citizen C6009-300 power cord (UK plug).
💡 Useful extras: the Epson WH-10 (C32C845040) wall-hanging bracket; an Epson interface board to change the connection later (Epson UB-E04 (C32C881023) or Epson UB-P02II (C32C823891)); a spare Epson PS-180 (C32C825341) power supply. The RJ12 drawer kick-out port opens a standard 24 V cash drawer automatically with every sale.
Key Features
- Labels, barcodes and receipts – prints die-cut labels, continuous labels and receipt paper, with or without black mark, at up to 150 mm/s and 203 dpi; 1D and 2D barcodes such as GS1 DataBar, QR Code, PDF417 and DataMatrix are built in.
- Flexible media width – 80 mm, or any width from 38 to 70 mm in 1 mm steps with the supplied paper roll spacer; rolls up to 90 mm in diameter mean fewer roll changes.
- Clean cut for every label – the auto-cutter cuts labels and receipts (1 million label cuts / 2 million receipt cuts), and back-feed saves media between jobs.
- Serial + built-in USB – connect it to a POS PC via USB or to cash registers, scales and legacy systems via RS-232; the exchangeable Epson interface board (UIB) can later be swapped for Ethernet or parallel.
- Greyscale printing – add logos, symbols and promotional messages to labels and receipts.
- Drop-in paper loading – open the cover, drop in the roll and close – no threading, minimal training and fewer paper jams.
- Upright, flat or on the wall – only 140 mm wide; install it vertically to save counter space, horizontally under a shelf, 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, MCBF of 70 million lines and a 24-month Epson warranty, extendable with Epson CoverPlus.
