Star Micronics revolutionises
POS terminal device choice
POS printer manufacturer Star
Micronics’ new TSP143IIIU printer
is the only receipt printer solution
today to communicate and charge
simultaneously and directly with
an iPad or iPhone, removing the
insecurity of wireless connection.
Recognising the distinct shift towards
Apple iOS POS solutions in recent years
within retail and hospitality, Star has
responded by providing a solution that
seamlessly combines the flexibility and cost
savings of tablet POS with the reliability of
traditional POS.
As well as working with a traditional
POS terminal, this printer can connect
directly to an iPad or iPhone using the
Apple supplied lightning cable for reliable
USB communication as opposed to
previous iOS wireless only technologies.
As a result, the usual Bluetooth or WiFi /
wired LAN set-up issues around pairing,
network infrastructure, connectivity etc. are
eliminated from a hardware perspective.
