The SP500 from Star Micronics combines renowned
reliability and a multitude of high end features into a
compact, value-driven solution. It is capable of fast
output, printing 40 columns at 4 lines per second. The
SP500 series have a bi-directional, logic seeking
mechanism resulting in an exceptional throughput,
outpacing its nearest competition.
Its compact footprint is further enhanced by its internal
power supply - no "brick on a rope" for this printer. An
example of which is shown in the highly effective cable
management system allowing the interface and internal
power supply cables to be neatly tucked away behind a
protective cover.
The hinged cover of the SP500, with its integrated rain
channel, protects the printer from liquid spills and other
debris. Protection from the elements and the single
color highlight feature of the SP500 series provides an
excellent solution for food service and kitchen
applications.
