Toshiba stuffs an entire PC into a dot matrix printer — Toshiba Jimucon SJ-9500 packs a mysterious CPU, 8GB RAM, and two 240GB SSDs

Toshiba Jimucon SJ-9500.

On November 8, Toshiba Japan (Toshiba Tec) debuted the latest in its series of Jimucon AIO printer PCs, the Toshiba Tec Jimucon SJ-9500— per the PC Watch post and the original release it cites, this AIO PC comes with a built-in ink matrix printer, a slot to store the included keyboard, and even a backup battery, all to further facilitate its intended use as a Japanese business PC. From word processing to Point of Sale (POS) systems, a setup like this can do quite a lot in the office— the 15-inch, 1024 x 768 LCD screen is more than enough for those tasks.

The Toshiba Tec Jimucon SJ-9500 is outfitted with dual 240 GB SSDs— one for active use and the other seemingly for backup mirroring purposes, according to the original release. These specifications, combined with just 8 GB of RAM and even an unspecified CPU, point toward this PC being targeted at standard office work that PCs have been great at for decades rather than high-end video editing or cutting-edge graphics. This series of Toshiba Tec "Jimucon" PCs have been sold in Japan since 1982, so this model likely works well for them— and this unit's stated sales targets are relatively modest at an expected 1000 units per year.
