Seiko Epson — ~21 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Seiko Epson is registered to MAC prefix
44:D2:44and 20 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with44:D2:44, that block was registered by Seiko Epson — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Epson OUIs identify printers, projectors, or — in retail networks — POS receipt printers; a cluster of Epson MACs in a retail VLAN typically maps to checkout hardware.
About this vendor.
Epson holds about 21 MA-L blocks registered as "Seiko Epson Corporation" in Nagano-ken, Japan (block addresses cluster around Shiojiri, Matsumoto, and the Suwa region). These OUIs appear on inkjet printers, EcoTank printers, MFPs, point-of-sale (POS) receipt printers, projectors, and scanners. The TM-series POS receipt printers are ubiquitous in retail, so a cluster of Epson MACs in a retail VLAN typically maps to checkout hardware. A normalization caution: multiple unrelated "Seiko" entities exist in IEEE data (Seiko Instruments Inc., Seiko Systems Inc., Seikosha), so the exact "Seiko Epson Corporation" string must be matched to avoid misattribution. For triage, Epson OUIs identify printers, projectors, or — in retail networks — POS receipt printers.
