Superstar!

Superfast, Compact Kiosk Printer - The Star Micronics TUP500 Series from DED Limited

Building on their already comprehensive range of kiosk printers on offer, DED introduce the Star Micronics TUP500. Based on the tried and tested TUP900 model, known worldwide for providing effective printing solutions in a host of applications, the TUP500 brings new features along with versatility to the kiosk printing marketplace.

Demonstrating the ultimate in flexibility, the TUP500 prints thermal receipts, tickets, barcodes and labels at the superfast speed of up to 220mm per second with the standard 15cm paper roll. The compact TUP500 offers an easy ‘lift and tilt’ mechanism for hassle free paper loading of paper stock from 45 - 82.5mm wide and media of up to 0.15mm thick.

Offering a versatile, open frame kiosk printing solution, the TUP500 features removable metal sides as standard so that the paper spindle holders or control panel can be relocated to meet the most demanding of kiosk layouts.

Options on the TUP500 include a flashing paper exit guide/snout which flashes green to direct customers where to remove their receipt/ticket from and flashes red when the paper roll has run out. Another option is the 25cm paper roll holder for horizontal or vertical use (maximum capacity of 18cm in vertical role).

Reflecting Star’s focus on the environment, the TUP500 has an energy saving low peak current mode, a reduced top margin as well as a document capture/anti-litter mode for the internal storage of unwanted or forgotten output.

To ease integration, the TUP500 has drivers for Windows 2000 and XP, Ethernet, USB, Parallel and Serial interface options and is compatible with OPOS, Java-POS, Linux, ESC/POS and Microsoft Windows with WHQL certification.
