The Epson TM-U295 is one of the world's smallest slip printers – a compact 7-pin impact printer that prints directly onto cut sheets and forms such as prescriptions, cheques and vouchers, deposit slips, delivery notes and validation forms. Slips from 80 × 69 mm up to 182 × 257 mm are inserted from the front and printed as an original plus up to two copies, in four print directions and with page mode for free positioning.
