The TSP654IIBI and Star’s range of mobile printers offer compatibility with iOS, which is a result of Star’s investment in Apple Inc.’s MFi (Made for iPhone®, iPad®, iPod®) certification, and support the Bluetooth SPP protocol that allows compatibility with other common operating systems, while providing the facility to easily switch from iOS support to Android etc.
In terms of accessories, Star’s new low cost WiFi Power Pack offers simple wireless printing directly from tablets, PCs or any other mobile device to Star’s full range of LAN printers, while Star’s new DK-AirCash ‘mobilises’ any RJ-11 cash drawer. This low cost accessory can enable mobile POS users to open a cash drawer of their choice with a compatible RJ-11 printer connection via their
mobile device in a variety of environments. This simple, yet invaluable, accessory can be attached to the back of any cash drawer and once connected to a 24 volt supply, such as Star’s PS60, can communicate via Ethernet, WiFi or Bluetooth depending on the communication required by the user’s choice of mobile device.
Offering a low cost networking solution, Star WebPRNTTM effectively removes the issues usually associated with web-based printing to provide driverless printing capabilities for all receipt data, utilising HTML and JavaScript standards to offer consistent browser printing. In addition, Star WebPRNT provides a number of receipt design marketing tools alongside a full range of printer functions including cutter control, cash drawer support and device status.
Given their versatility and reliability, many of Star’s printers have been written into today’s new mPOS Payment transaction software from iZettle to Sum Up – from Square to Payleven and more.
