Epson TM-U675P M1469 9-Pin Dot Matrix POS Receipt Printer Parallel w/PS-170

The Epson TM-U675P (catalog model M1469, hardware model M146A) is a 9-pin dot matrix point-of-sale receipt printer designed for high-volume retail and banking counter environments. It handles both roll paper (3.25-inch wide) and A5 slip documents through a single unit, making it a versatile choice for multi-format POS setups. This unit connects via a Centronics 36-pin parallel interface and has been tested — it produced a clean test print confirming full print function.

Applications

The TM-U675P is a multi-function POS printer built for environments where both receipts and slip documents need to be printed at a single station — such as bank teller counters, retail POS lanes, and hospitality front desks. The dual paper-path design (roll + slip) allows the same printer to generate customer receipts from a roll and process pre-printed slip forms like checks, validation slips, or order tickets. 9-pin dot matrix technology was the standard for POS printing through the 1990s and into the 2000s due to its reliability, low running cost per page, and ability to make carbon-copy impressions on multi-part forms — a key advantage for banking and retail audit trails. These printers are still in use today in legacy POS installations that depend on parallel-port infrastructure or multi-part form printing. Replacement is driven by software or hardware refresh cycles, and the TM-U675P remains compatible with a wide range of DOS-based and older Windows POS applications via its standard Centronics parallel interface.
