TSP143IV (TSP100 Series) Printer: View Unique Features and More

If you are looking to buy a reliable EPOS receipt printer in the UK, the Star Micronics TSP143IV range (TSP100IV series) is a highly popular, industry-standard choice. Known for its durable build quality and compact footprint, this series is backed by an impressive 4-year manufacturer warranty as standard, highlighting Star's confidence in its long-term reliability.

Whether you run a busy retail boutique, a fast-paced takeaway, or a multi-site hospitality venue, this product spotlight will be able to help you determine if this is the right printer for you. 

The Models: TSP143IV UE vs. TSP143IV UEWB (X4)

To make sure you purchase the correct version for your specific point-of-sale setup, the TSP143IV series is split into two primary models:

• TSP143IV UE: The dual-interface wired model featuring USB and Ethernet (LAN) connectivity out of the box.

• TSP143IV UEWB (also known as the X4 model): All-in-one model, packed with USB, Ethernet, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Here is what those connectivity letters mean:

• U = USB (with modern USB-C and USB-A ports)

• E = Ethernet LAN (wired network connection)

• W = Wi-Fi (2.4GHz / 5GHz dual-band wireless)

• B = Bluetooth

Why Choose the X4 (UEWB) Model?

If you choose to buy the TSP143IV UEWB X4, you gain total freedom over how you connect your hardware. You can start with a direct USB connection to a local EPOS terminal today, and easily transition to a wireless Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection tomorrow if you decide to move your counter setup or swap to mobile tablet-based POS software.

Because many UK POS software providers are only compatible with specific connection protocols, buying the all-in-one X4 variant future-proofs your business. If you change your EPOS software partner down the line, you will not have to buy a completely new printer.

Key Features & Business Benefits

1. Cloud-Ready with Star CloudPRNT™

Every model in this next-generation series comes natively equipped with Star CloudPRNT technology. This allows the printer to communicate directly with your online web server via the cloud, completely bypassing the need for a local PC, tablet, or controller to act as a middleman.

• For Software Developers (ISVs): If your POS application runs in a web browser, CloudPRNT lets your servers send print commands directly to the hardware. Your clients save money because they do not need to buy and maintain a dedicated server PC.

• For Retail & Hospitality Owners: If you take online web orders or delivery platform orders (such as Shopify or WooCommerce), the TSP143IV can automatically print incoming tickets from anywhere in the world. Please note: Your EPOS software must be integrated with Star CloudPRNT to use this feature.

2. Super-Compact, Space-Saving Design

Space is money on a busy service counter. The newer TSP143IV models are 20% smaller than their predecessor, the TSP100III, keeping your checkout neat, modern, and completely clutter-free.

• Flexible Mounting: It can operate horizontally, vertically, or be mounted directly to a wall using the integrated wall-mount brackets.

• Internal Power Supply: No bulky "power brick" adapter hanging off your counter. The power supply is completely built-in.

3. Android "Sync & Charge" (AOA Support)

Running your POS on an Android tablet? The built-in USB-A port supports Android Open Accessory (AOA). This clever feature allows your tablet to send print data and receive a steady 1.5A charge through a single USB cable. This eliminates messy split cables and prevents costly Wi-Fi dropouts during busy service hours.
