Benefit from improved cable management and, more importantly,
being able to cost-effectively use the same UPS on both your POS
station and printer at the same price as a traditional printer.
USB is now the industry’s preferred communication link between a PC and
a printer; so what is the next logical step – to combine the power supply
and interface to produce Powered USB. As a result, Star has developed the
world’s first dedicated entry-level Powered USB printers offering significant
cost advantages over competitor products for all types of retailer.
As usual the POS market is in IT transition with the future looking at
Powered USB terminal and peripherals. The key advantages include now
being able to cost-effectively include UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply)
cover on both the PC and printer so that all transactions will be protected.
The TSP100 PUSB is therefore perfect to replace any single station printer
with a free-of-charge upgrade path when the retailer decides to follow the
industry and use Powered USB POS Terminals at the same price as a
traditional single station printer.
To replace a single station serial printer; set the printer up as indicated;
change the interface cable to USB and create a Virtual Serial Port using
the Star wizard included in the TSP100
futurePRNT
configuration utility.
