Remote Wireless Front-of-House & Bar Receipt Printer Bundle | Star mC-Print3 & Ubiquiti U7 Pro

This commercial network and hardware bundle allows you to install an Ethernet thermal receipt printer at a front-of-house greeting station, bar, or barista counter when your main internet router or network switch is located in a different room or floor.

By using a commercial wireless access point to bridge the physical distance over Wi-Fi, this kit removes the need to drill walls, damage interior decor, or run long, permanent network lines through your commercial premises.

Technical Problem Solved by This Bundle

In most cafes, bars, and restaurants, the central internet router or network switch is kept in a back office, downstairs cellar, or communications cabinet. Running a physical network cable from that central point to a new bar terminal or front-of-house desk can be structurally impossible or visually disruptive.

This bundle bypasses long cable runs by establishing a secure, local wireless link across your premises:

1. Establish the wireless link: The Ubiquiti U7 Pro access point is installed at or near your service counter. It connects wirelessly back to your existing wireless network or central router.

2. Connect the hardware locally: You plug one end of the 5-metre Ubiquiti patch cable into the base of the Star mC-Print3 printer, and run the other end directly into the Ethernet port on the base of the U7 Pro access point.

3. Print customer receipts: When staff complete a transaction on your tablet or POS terminal, the data travels wirelessly through your building to the U7 Pro, which passes it down the short cable to print the customer receipt instantly.

Required Infrastructure Note: The Ubiquiti U7 Pro access point requires Power over Ethernet (PoE+) to operate. If your existing network switch does not output PoE+, or if you do not have an existing UniFi PoE injector on site, you will need to purchase a compatible 44–57V DC PoE+ injector separately to power the access point.
