as an open cover or cash drawer, or if the printer is out of paper or unplugged. Star’s success with a large number of
software houses has been achieved by its attention to detail regarding SDKs and documentation, enabling easy integration. With a focus on developing unique Cloud solutions, Star’s second key game changer is the HI X Connect interface that incorporates Star’s digital receipting service and provides an ideal upgrade path to the Cloud. The versatile, feature-rich interface with new Star CloudPRNT™ technology provides intelligent printing for a range of retail, hospitality and logistics applications, offering unparalleled flexibility for remote receipt and order printing. The Star TSP654II, TSP743II and TSP847II
label, ticket and receipt printers, as well as the SP700 kitchen printer can easily be upgraded and transformed into a cloud printer by simply using the cost-effective HI X Connect interface. Alternatively, the TSP654II CloudPRNT printer with built-in interface is cloud-ready. Fitted to the compatible printer models, the HI X Connect interface boasts a variety of
connectivity options and development tools to provide a versatile future-proof solution. WiFi, USB and Ethernet connections can all be used concurrently with the printer printing on a first come, first served basis. Star CloudPRNT enables remote printing
directly and securely from a web server to Star printers anywhere in the world without the need for a local PoS terminal or PC, avoiding complicated network configurations. This solution is ideal for cloud-based PoS applications such as shelf-edge labelling, click and collect, restaurant aggregation and courier deliveries. With a wide range of options available
to retailers of all sizes, Star offers PoS solutions that can be tailored to individual requirements whether a retailer is currently using a traditional PoS solution, looking for an upgrade path to the Cloud or upgrading their existing tablet PoS system. Star recommends that retailers talk to their system integrator or to Star directly to find out how to effectively future-proof their PoS system and identify which printers, or indeed which single printer, can achieve this.
