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.
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 r eplace 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 Printer Properties Page under “TSP config”. Contact Star for the quick fix to replace a Parallel printer.
Star Performance – Receipts Per Minute
NEW TSP100 Powered USB Printers
Over the last three years Star Micronics has introduced a variety of new products with such advanced processing power that the old fashioned method of measuring print speed has been made redundant. Simply measuring how
fast the head will print one isolated 4mm line of output does not take into account the total investment that has been put into the overall “build”.
Star Micronics will therefore be using the new standard in print speed measurement called RPM. This will measure the actual time taken to produce an entire receipt from the moment it is requested by the software to when it is produced – all in a laboratory controlled environment. Star’s latest product, TSP100
futurePRNT, is testament to the vast difference in
throughput speed when using the very latest in printer
technology. Just look at the results in the table below. Users are no longer limited to using old fashioned, unexciting resident fonts on their receipts.
The TSP100
futurePRNT is capable of producing the same number of receipts per minute using modern TrueType fonts instead.
The printer is supplied with two port covers for use depending on configuration chosen.

FuturePRNT Software
This revolutionary new tool has been designed to work completely independently from your current POS software and will allow any user to literally re-design their receipts without changing their software. Legacy software can have embedded text and graphics which you may
have always wanted to change. Now you can, with the new
RECEIPT CROPPING TOOL which will crop unwanted
sections, thus creating space for new graphics and text. The unique Star Selectable
PRE-VIEW TOOL will make this task
even easier. Perhaps the most important element will be the
FONT REPLACEMENT TOOL (available early 2006) making
the printer’s resident fonts no longer relevant. This, along with the other tools mentioned, will be available from the printer’s properties page and, when selected, will replace any non TrueType fonts featured on the receipt with a more attractive / effective font – all without affecting the speed of the printer.
RE-DESIGN TOOL
RECEIPT
Literally re-design your receipt without changing your software or becoming an IT expert.
Crop out embedded text and images, add new profit-making messages and graphics.
Star’s revolutionary new printer has taken customer motivation to new heights with this free-of-charge value-added software, which will work alongside your current system. The new Coupon Marketing Tool from Star will enable the automatic printing of coupons based on the retailer’s pre-decided products or purchase values relevant to that transaction.
Seasonal fluctuations, overstock situations can all be addressed by the retailer determining certain “trigger action” key words. Unlike AutoLogo on The TSP700, the simple wizard­driven software will “word-search” all receipts to ascertain the automatic output of relevant coupons or graphics.
The new IMAGE IMPORT TOOL simplifies the usual logo store set-up by eliminating the need for the usual image preparation work. An unlimited number of mono or colour jpgs, gifs and bmps can be accessed by the control panel, saved by name and even prepared for output with a choice of dither
methods. There is no longer any need to pre-size or pre-save an image file as a mono bmp, as was so often required by other POS printers. The TSP100’s unique installation set-up facility will allow PCs to be pre­installed (not necessarily with the printer connected) for multiple printer use across the whole store. The new PRE-VIEW TOOL provides retailers and system builders with the ability to pre­check the overall appearance of planned receipts by using the pre-view tool during set-up. This simple tool, again a rare facility in the POS world, will save much time.
Star has produced a dedicated SDK (Modular Software Developers Kit) with a wide range of tools available, allowing the system designer to take advantage of all the TSP100’s software and hardware features e.g auto text reversal for vertical / wall mounted use. This feature can
literally be dragged and dropped into the developer’s software.
PRE-INSTALLATION SET-UP TOOL – with Easy driver
installation for all major platforms with CD-ROM supplied or using the Star designed architecture for fast modifications when needed. Custom filters / features can be easily written by the Integrator or OEM or in conjunction with our UK software engineers. The unique Printer Serial Number Identifier will also be ideal for remote polling for hardware audits, warranty / servicing issues etc.
“DRAG & DROP” SOFTWARE FEATURE TOOL
Active X Components for Star Printer Feature Inclusion into OEM Software.
The secret of Star’s success with this ground-breaking product is a result of the investment that Star has put in time, effort and money into the software provided with this printer.
This software far exceeds the installation tools normally provided, enabling users to install high volume, custom set-ups without even taking the printer out of its box. Users can pre-determine set-up requirements due to the operating platform selected as well as take advantage of the Receipt Re-design and Coupon Marketing tools which will work happily alongside the current installed POS software. Star is constantly new
futurePRNT software tools; details of which can
be found on
www.futureprnt.com Examples of just some of the Value-Added Software for
Retailers include:
The new JOURNAL AND
MULTI-COPY TOOL
from Star truly demonstrates the versatility of the Star TSP100 futurePRNT. Not only can the user now determine how many copies should be printed, but they can also specify the
different text and graphics required per copy – perfect for DIY retailers, pizza delivery companies to name just a few of the users that will really appreciate this tool.
