Key Features

USB-C Power Delivery (MCP31CI / CBI)

The "CI" series features a high-specification USB-C port that supports Power Delivery. This allows the printer to charge your iPad or tablet at a high rate while simultaneously handling data transfer. This eliminates cable clutter and the need for multiple power sockets at the point of sale.

SteadyLAN™ Technology

SteadyLAN™ provides a stable, hardwired internet connection to your tablet via the printer's Ethernet port. By connecting your device to the printer via USB, the tablet "borrows" the printer’s wired network connection. This is an essential feature for areas with unreliable WiFi, ensuring your POS terminal remains online.

Industry-Leading 400mm/s Print Speed

The MCP31 series is amongst the fastest receipt printers available today. At 400mm per second, it delivers long receipts and kitchen orders almost instantly, significantly improving workflow and reducing customer wait times during peak periods.

Why Choose the mC-Print3?

  • Compact & Splash-Proof: The front-exit design and IPX2-rated housing make it ideal for busy bar environments or kitchens where space is limited and spills may occur.

  • Peripheral Hub: Includes USB-A host ports, allowing you to connect scanners, customer displays, or cash drawers directly to the printer for a centralised setup.

  • CloudPRNT Next: Engineered for the modern cloud era, allowing the printer to pull orders directly from a web server without requiring a local PC or tablet driver.

  • Paper De-Curl Function: Features a built-in tension bar that ensures receipts come out flat rather than curled, providing a more premium feel for the customer.

Technical Specifications

  • Max Print Speed: 400mm/sec (MCP31 models) / 250mm/sec (MCP30)

  • Paper Width: 80mm standard thermal rolls

  • Connectivity: USB-C (with PD), Ethernet LAN, Bluetooth (CBI models), CloudPRNT

  • Operating Systems: Fully compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS

  • Package Contents: Printer, 24VDC Power Supply, UK & EU Power Cables, and Start-up Paper Roll.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Star mC-Print3 model should my business buy?

Choosing the correct variant depends entirely on your till setup and tablet configuration. Buying the wrong SKU can limit your connectivity options:

  • Star mCP31L / mCP31LBi: The premium standard for iPad POS setups. Features Ethernet LAN, USB, Bluetooth (MFi certified), and SteadyLAN technology. Perfect if you need a future-proof terminal.
  • Star mCP31CI / mCP31CBi: The latest generation featuring a dedicated USB-C port that delivers up to 20W Power Delivery. Choose this if you want a single cable to connect data and fast-charge a modern iPad or Android tablet simultaneously.
  • Star mCP30: The budget-conscious, entry-level option. It features USB and Ethernet LAN ports only (No Bluetooth). Ideal for traditional fixed Windows PC tills or hardwired kitchen display connections.
Do these printers require expensive ink cartridges or ribbons?


No. Both the mC-Print3 and mC-Label3 use direct thermal printing technology. The only recurring operational cost is the thermal paper or linerless label rolls themselves. There are no ink cartridges, toner drums, or thermal ribbons to stock, keep inventory of, or replace.

Will the mC-Print3 work right out of the box with my existing UK POS provider?

Please check with your POS sofware provider to check whether they are compatible. This printer is certified by major UK providers, but it's best to make sure.

Which UK EPOS platforms support the mC-Print3?

Due to its native integration within Star's unified SDK ecosystem, it is universally supported by leading UK retail and hospitality software suites:

  • Shopify POS & Square: Seamless cloud and local network support.
  • Zettle by PayPal & SumUp: Works flawlessly over both local Bluetooth pairings and network LAN setups.
  • Lightspeed, Epos Now, & GoodTill: Extensively used for frontend counter receipts and service printouts.
