Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TSP143IV UE and the TSP143IV UEWB?

The TSP143IV UE is a hardwired model featuring only USB and Ethernet connections. The TSP143IV UEWB (this model) is the flagship version that includes those same wired connections alongside built-in Dual-Band Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth 5.0 hardware.

What is the difference between the TSP143IV and the TSP100IV?

They are the same machine. Star Micronics uses "TSP100IV" as the global series umbrella designation, while "TSP143IV" is the specific model designation printed on the hardware packaging within the UK and European markets.

Can I charge my tablet directly from the printer?

Yes. When using a compatible Android device connected via the USB-A port, the printer utilizes Android Open Accessory (AOA) technology to simultaneously transmit print data and deliver continuous charging power over a single cable.

Does this printer support traditional cash drawers?

Yes. The unit features a standard RJ11 24V drawer kick circuit on the rear panel, allowing it to trigger standard external cash drawers automatically upon receipt generation.

Primary Applications

• Hospitality & Kitchen Order Routing: Perfect for busy cafés, bars, and restaurants requiring reliable receipt and order ticket printing. Its compact size allows it to fit under counters or onto tight service shelves.

• Online Food Delivery Platforms: The integrated CloudPRNT technology allows the printer to pull orders directly from online delivery aggregators and web-ordering platforms, executing print jobs automatically without needing a dedicated terminal computer.

• Mobile and Temporary Event Catering: With multiple wireless interfaces and an internal power supply, this unit is easily deployed in food trucks, pop-up stalls, and event spaces where hardwired local networks are unavailable.
