Reliable Kitchen Printing

For busy restaurant kitchens, the mC-Print3 is the industry leader. Its splash-proof design and SteadyLAN™ technology (which provides stable wired internet to tablets via USB) ensure order tickets are never missed due to poor WiFi.

Future-Proof Connectivity

The TSP100IV (TSP143IV) series introduces CloudPRNT Next. This allows the printer to pull orders directly from your online ordering platform without needing a local PC or tablet driver, perfect for modern takeaway businesses.

Star Micronics: Technical Support & FAQ

Expert answers to the most common questions regarding Star Micronics POS hardware and connectivity.

Is the Star TSP143IV compatible with my existing TSP100 software?

Yes. The TSP143IV (TSP100IV) is designed for backward compatibility. It uses the same internal command set as the classic TSP100 series, meaning it works seamlessly with existing retail and hospitality software while offering a smaller footprint and modern USB-C connectivity.

What is Star SteadyLAN™ and why do I need it?

SteadyLAN™ is a unique technology found in the mC-Print series. It allows a tablet (iPad or Android) to receive a stable, wired internet connection directly from the printer via the USB cable. This eliminates "connection dropped" issues caused by weak WiFi in busy kitchens or retail environments.

Does the Star mPOP work with Square or Zettle?

The Star mPOP™ is the most popular all-in-one choice for Square, Zettle, and Shopify POS users in the UK. Its integrated cash drawer and Bluetooth connectivity make it the gold standard for mobile boutiques and pop-up shops requiring a minimalist aesthetic.

What is CloudPRNT™ and how does it work?

CloudPRNT™ allows Star printers to retrieve and print orders directly from an online server without a local PC or tablet. This is essential for takeaways and restaurants using platforms like Just Eat or Uber Eats, as the printer handles the order processing independently via the CloudPRNT Next protocol.

Can I use standard receipt paper in an mC-Print2?

The mC-Print2 (MCP21) is an ultra-compact printer that uses 58mm wide thermal paper rolls. It is not compatible with the standard 80mm rolls used in the TSP143 or mC-Print3. Always ensure you are using Star-approved 58mm thermal media to maintain printhead longevity.

Are Star Micronics printers compatible with Windows 11?

Full Windows 11 support is available for all current Star models. As an authorised partner, we recommend downloading the Star Windows Software (FuturePRNT) directly from the Star support site or contacting our UK team for the latest 2026 driver updates.

Common Questions

What is the most popular Star Micronics receipt printer model?

The TSP100 series is consistently the most popular and highly searched model. Offering reliability, speed, and the unique futurePRNT software for paper savings. The latest models, like the TSP143IV, focus heavily on next-generation connectivity.

What is the Star Micronics mPOP and who is it for?

The mPOP (Mobile Point-of-Sale) is an all-in-one peripheral that combines a high-speed thermal receipt printer and a secure cash drawer into a single, aesthetically pleasing unit. It is ideal for mobile retail, pop-up shops, and boutiques that rely on mPOS (tablet-based) systems and want a clean, minimalist counter space.

Which printer model is best for online ordering and kitchen printing?

The mC-Print3 is the top choice for modern online ordering due to its CloudPRNT capability (connecting directly to web servers). The SP700 is the preferred choice for kitchen printing because it uses durable, heat-resistant impact (dot matrix) technology and ink ribbons.
