The TSP100 futurePRNT series is the first range of packaged kiosk printers to offer USB only receipt printing on the market today.
The power that the USB communication interface provides has allowed Star Micronics to build a software driven PoS printer. The advantages of such a printer are evident for applications in retail, hospitality and convenience stores.
USB provides an immediate Plug 'n' Play installation which reduces the integration time to minutes. The TSP100 futurePRNT thermal printer is provided with all standard operating systems drivers (Windows, Linux and Mac) and specialty drivers such as OPOS and JavaPOS.
The new TSP100GT version offers a high print speed of 250mm per second combined with a high gloss piano finish.
The TSP100LAN version features an Ethernet interface with "Keep Alive" feature. This communcates with any networked host and automatically print an error if the connection is lost due to PC / Hub failure or cable damage. In case of failure, an immediate warning is given on screen at the remote location that the printer is offline. At the printer end, a warning message is printed to notify that connection with the host has been lost.
Star has included simple utilities in the drivers that will enhance kiosk applications. These include auto text rotation which prints all output automatically rotated by 180 degrees. Other features include simple logo printing, couponing & font replacement tools. For further information and detailed demonstrations please visit the futurePRNT Website .
