The new driver enables ISVs and solution providers to deploy Star printers on ARM-based Windows devices, expanding compatibility for modern POS environments.
Somerset, NJ – April 7, 2026 – Star Micronics, a global provider of point-of-sale (POS) hardware, cloud printing, and labeling solutions, today announced the availability of Windows on ARM driver support for its printer portfolio. As the first POS hardware manufacturer to offer native support for Windows on ARM devices, Star is expanding compatibility with next-generation computing platforms used by ISVs, resellers, and enterprise customers.
As adoption of ARM-based Windows devices continues to grow across tablets, laptops, and compact POS systems, software developers and solution providers are increasingly building applications for these environments. Star’s Windows on ARM driver enables native integration with Star printers, allowing ISVs to support receipt, label, and ticket printing without relying on emulation or additional workarounds.
Expanding Compatibility for Modern POS Deployments
Star’s Windows on ARM driver support enables ISVs to support printing natively on ARM-based Windows devices, while giving resellers confidence that Star printers will work with newer Windows hardware without requiring emulation or additional configuration. This is especially important as businesses adopt lighter, more energy-efficient ARM-based systems across retail, hospitality, and service environments.
Supporting ISVs and Solution Providers
For ISVs, native Windows on ARM driver support removes the need for emulation and ensures consistent printing functionality across both ARM and traditional x86 platforms, simplifying development for modern POS environments.
Resellers and solution providers also gain greater flexibility in supporting customer environments that are adopting ARM-based Windows devices, allowing them to offer compatible solutions across a wider range of system configurations.
“ISVs and solution providers are increasingly working with ARM-based Windows devices as part of modern POS deployments. By offering native Windows on ARM driver support, Star ensures our partners can support the latest hardware platforms without compromising compatibility or performance.”
