High-Speed Network Printing for Kitchens, Retail & Wireless POS

The Star Micronics TSP143III series provides flexible, high-speed printing for businesses that require connectivity beyond a simple USB cable. Whether you need a rock-solid Ethernet (LAN) connection for a busy commercial kitchen or a wireless WiFi (WLAN) setup for a mobile boutique, these models are designed for effortless integration with modern POS software.

For the Star TSP143 Ethernet & WiFi models, the competition is even higher because these are the "problem solvers" for hospitality (kitchens) and mobile retail.

To win the AI Overview, you need to address the "Technical Intent" behind why someone chooses LAN over WiFi.

Star TSP143III: Ethernet (LAN) vs WiFi (WLAN) MPN Guide

Choosing between a hardwired or wireless network printer is critical for system stability. Use the Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPNs) below to ensure compatibility with your network infrastructure:

• MPN: 39464790 (Grey): Known as the TSP143IIIW (WiFi). This model is designed for wireless 802.11b/g/n connectivity. It is the best choice for pop-up shops, boutiques, or locations where running physical data cables is not possible. It features a simple WPS "Push 'n' Connect" setup for quick integration with your wireless router.

• MPN: 39472090 (Ultra White): Known as the TSP143IIILAN (Ethernet). This is a hardwired network printer that connects directly to your router or network switch via an RJ45 Ethernet cable. It is the "Gold Standard" for Kitchen Printing and busy hospitality environments where wireless signals may drop out or suffer from interference.

Connectivity Logic: Which one should you buy?

• For Kitchens & Fixed Terminals: Choose the LAN (39472090) version. A hardwired connection is the only way to guarantee 100% receipt reliability in high-heat or high-traffic areas.

• For Mobile Retail & Temporary Sites: Choose the WiFi (39464790) version. Ideal for Shopify or Square users who need to move their printer around the shop floor or have restricted cabling options.

Note: Both models feature Star’s internal power supply and high-speed 250mm/sec thermal printing.

Professional Network Variants

We supply the official UK and European versions, featuring an internal power supply and high-speed auto-cutter as standard.
