Star Micronics has launched its TSP847II AirPrint POS printer, its first 112mm wide receipt, barcode, label and ticket POS printer to be Apple AirPrint-certified, according to a press release. The new printer follows the recent Star TSP654II AirPrint printer, which is also Apple-certified.
AirPrint provides mobile printing solutions for Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod and MacBook users on a private network with the ability to wirelessly print via the customer's network without installing specific printer drivers. With AirPrint support pre-installed on iOS devices, the user can connect to and print from the required printer.
AirPrint has previously been the domain of wider output inkjet and laser printers for business and personal use, but Apple has now confirmed its place in the POS retail and hospitality sectors with its certification of both the TSP654II AirPrint and TSP847II AirPrint from Star.
Star Micronics' TSP847II AirPrint is the latest addition to its multifunctional TSP800II series. Automatically printing A4 output on 112mm wide paper, labels or tickets simply by selecting the TSP800 option within the native OS print function, the TSP847II AirPrint is a unique Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod A4 to virtual A6 replacement printer. The printer is designed to have lower running costs than a typical A4 laser printer, and a space-saving alternative for use with iOS devices.
