Outstanding quality is something all EPSON products share. Thanks to this,

EPSON was the first mini printer manufacturer to acquire accreditation for ISO9001,

the strictest of the ISO9000 international quality standards. Approved by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization,

ISO9001 compliance is just another example of the steps EPSON takes to assure total product satisfaction.

EPSON's efforts to protect the environment began more than ten years ago with the declaration that it would stop using

CFCs. Other measures include the reduction of CO

2 emissions at factories and facilities, the reduction of waste material,

and recycling. This focus on the environment has resulted in many EPSON factories acquiring ISO14001 certification.

EPSON Roots

EPSON's first major product was a digital watch featuring micromechatronics and electronic technology. This was followed

by a printing timer used as the official timekeeper at the 1964 Olympics. Four years later there came the EP-101, the world's

first electronic calculator mini printer. This ultra-compact printer was a huge hit worldwide and heralded the start of EPSON's

multi-faceted business expansion, giving rise to many other products or "sons". Actually, the name EPSON is a combination of

the EP from the EP-101 and SON. EPSON. A name associated with cutting-edge, high quality products around the world.

Whenever there’s a need, Epson is there with just the right solution. The TM Series lineup offers models to print everything from receipts,

sales slips and journals to tickets, checks and invoices. And for retail and hospitality businesses, MR / SR / IR Series feature an easy-to-use

touch panel.

For over a quarter of a century EPSON has been the world's top manufacturer of printers. During this time, we have produced an incredible

200 million of our famous mini printers. At retail outlets, in hotels, hospitals, car rental centers, banks

wherever you look, you'll find an

EPSON printer contributing to improved productivity and efficiency.

Setting the standards by providing revolutionary products for a wide range of applications -- in other words, the EPSON Solution

Initiative

. The facts speak for themselves. In the area of hardware, EPSON has continued to provide countless solutions, such as the

TM-J8000, the first inkjet printer for POS applications. With regards to software, EPSON took the initiative by introducing ESC/POS

, a

proprietary POS printer command system including patented commands and enabling versatile POS system construction with high scalability.

Compatible with all types of EPSON POS printers and displays, this proprietary control system also offers the flexibility to easily make

future upgrades. Its popularity is worldwide. Another world first was OLE POS (OPOS) OCX driver software for application software

It's all a matter of taking the initiative.
