High Wycombe, UK, June 22, 2017 The international POS printer manufacturer, Star Micronics, today announced the launch of its unique new printer, the TSP143IIIU, which is currently the only document printer solution that can communicate directly with the iPad or iPhone and simultaneously charge it at the same time Unsafe cabel connections.
Star has always been a pioneer in mobile tablet-based POS solutions and has fundamentally changed the POS printing industry through its collaboration with a large number of software houses and integrators in this area. Star has recognized the trend in retail and hospitality in the past few years has clearly gone toward Apple iOS POS solutions and has developed a solution that increases the flexibility and cost savings of tablet-based POS systems with the reliability of traditional POS- Systems.
In managing a large number of tablets and Bluetooth devices that are coupled together, it is often difficult to maintain the proper connection between the individual peripheral devices and other devices. With the TSP143IIIU, all this changes. This printer can be used not only with conventional POS terminals, but can also be connected directly to an iPad or iPhone using the Apple Lightning cable. This is now a reliable USB communication possible, as opposed to earlier, when only wireless iOS technologies were available. As far as the hardware is concerned, the usual Bluetooth / WLAN / LAN configuration problems associated with coupling, network infrastructure, connectivity, etc. are eliminated. This does not allow any other independent POS printer.
The iPad / iPhone can communicate directly with the printer just as a conventional terminal communicates with a USB printer. This unique printer allows multi-site companies to choose the same system at all sites, as the printer provides the reliability required for high transaction volumes and environments where wireless communication is difficult. At the same time, independent companies can now benefit from the flexibility and lower operating costs of a tablet-based POS system, with the certainty that the connection is always available.
Stars successful collaboration with a truly large number of ISVs is due to the fact that the company pays great attention to the details of SDKs and documentation, thus enabling easy integration. Star has had the experience that many software solutions already work with the TSP143IIIU, while others can easily be integrated with the new SDK that covers all TSP100 series products.
The TSP100 series is still the first choice for tablet-based POS systems, due to the extensive connectivity options, including Bluetooth and WLAN, while the TSP143IIIU is the only USB printer currently available on the market that comes directly from Apple devices Can communicate.
„Star’s TSP143IIIU is a groundbreaking development for retail and hospitality,“ commented Simon Martin, Director and CEO of Star Micronics EMEA. „By revolutionizing device selection at cash terminals, Star is the first company to enable retailers and hospitality operators of all sizes to simultaneously benefit from the reliability of traditional POS systems and the flexibility and cost savings of tablet-based POS systems.“
