    Star Micronics Becomes the First to Offer Windows on ARM Driver Support for POS Printers

    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.”

    Jon Levin, Director of Product Management at Star Micronics

  • Star Micronics Integrates Labeling and Printing Solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen to Improve Order Accuracy and Fulfillment

    Star Micronics Integrates Labeling and Printing Solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen to Improve Order Accuracy and Fulfillment

    The integration connects kitchen workflows with reliable labeling and printing to support faster, more accurate order fulfillment across modern restaurant environments.

    Somerset, NJ – February 23, 2026 – Star Micronics, a global leader in POS hardware, labeling, and cloud printing technology, today announced the integration of its printing and labeling solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen, an industry-leading kitchen display system (KDS) by Crunchtime. The integration extends digital kitchen workflows beyond the screen, helping restaurants improve order accuracy, accountability, and fulfillment across dine-in, takeout, and delivery channels, with particular impact for quick-service restaurants (QSRs), fast-casual brands, large casual-dining chains, and other hospitality venues.

    Kitchen display systems play a critical role in organizing and prioritizing orders, but accuracy challenges often arise once orders move from preparation to packaging and handoff. By integrating Star Micronics’ labeling and printing solutions with Crunchtime Kitchen, restaurants gain a reliable physical verification layer that supports accurate assembly, clear identification, and confident delivery of every order.

    Extending Order Accuracy Beyond the Screen

    Through the integration, orders displayed within Crunchtime Kitchen workflows trigger printed labels and receipts at key points in the kitchen process. Item-level and order-level labels help teams verify contents, eliminate missed items, and minimize confusion during packaging and pickup.

    Star’s mC-Label multifunction printer series supports a wide range of restaurant labeling needs, including item labels, bag seals, and order identification, using linerless, die-cut, or receipt media, all from a single model. Available in 2-inch and 3-inch options, the series also features user-friendly maintenance that reduces downtime and simplifies upkeep for kitchen teams.

    Star’s TSP143IV SK supports sticky linerless labels and receipt printing, giving restaurants flexible options for labeling and order verification. When paired with Crunchtime Kitchen, labeling helps ensure that digital orders are accurately reflected in the final order handed to the customer.

    Orchestrating Complex, Multi-Channel Kitchen Operations

    Crunchtime Kitchen is purpose-built to help restaurants manage complex, high-volume kitchen operations where speed, accuracy, and coordination are critical. Rather than simply displaying orders, the system orchestrates how orders move through the kitchen by pacing tickets, routing items to the right stations, and adjusting workflows based on real-time demand.

    “When kitchens are under pressure, teams need systems they can trust. Bringing Crunchtime Kitchen together with Star Micronics’ labeling and printing solutions gives restaurants greater confidence that orders are executed accurately for the guest.”

    Jennifer Karpinsky, Vice President of Business Development at Crunchtime

    Features such as delayed routing, customizable prep stations, and dynamic capacity management help balance workloads, reduce bottlenecks, and keep multi-item orders finishing together. This approach supports consistent execution across dine-in, takeout, and delivery channels, even during peak periods.

    Paired with Star Micronics’ labeling and printing solutions, these orchestrated workflows extend beyond the screen, giving kitchen teams a clear, physical way to verify, assemble, and fulfill orders accurately.

    Reliable Printing for Real-World Kitchen Execution

    The integration also supports Star’s mC-Print3 thermal receipt printer, delivering fast, dependable receipt and order printing in high-volume kitchen environments. Built for the demands of busy kitchens, the mC-Print3 provides consistent output at prep, expo, and fulfillment stations during peak service.

    Together, Star’s printing and labeling hardware provides restaurants with flexible options to support prep stations, expo lines, and fulfillment areas, while maintaining clarity and reliability across workflows.

    Supporting Modern Restaurant Operations

    As restaurants manage increasing order complexity driven by kiosks, online ordering, and third-party delivery, accuracy at handoff has become a critical factor in customer satisfaction and loyalty. Clear labeling and reliable printing help reduce costly remakes, refunds, and delivery issues, while improving the overall guest experience.

    The integration between Star Micronics and Crunchtime Kitchen enables restaurant operators to unify digital order management with consistent, real-world execution across every service channel. Designed for multi-channel, enterprise restaurant environments, Crunchtime Kitchen helps operators maintain service consistency and throughput by intelligently managing order flow across stations, channels, and peak demand periods.

    A Trusted Partner for KDS Labeling Solutions

    With decades of experience supporting restaurant technology ecosystems, Star Micronics continues to work closely with leading software providers to deliver dependable hardware solutions. The integration with Crunchtime Kitchen reinforces Star’s role as a go-to provider of labeling and printing technology for KDS environments.

  • Star Micronics Introduces Easy Deployment for Cloud Printing with StarIO.Online

    Star Micronics Introduces Easy Deployment for Cloud Printing with StarIO.Online

    New serial-based onboarding dramatically simplifies CloudPRNT printer setup for ISVs and merchants using the StarIO.Online service.

    Somerset, NJ – February 3, 2026 – Star Micronics, a global leader in point-of-sale (POS) hardware and cloud printing technology, today announced a new Easy Deployment method for cloud printing using StarIO.Online, its fully managed CloudPRNT service. This new deployment approach significantly reduces setup time and complexity by eliminating traditional server configuration and manual printer settings.

    With Easy Deployment, supported Star printers can now be connected to StarIO.Online using a streamlined, serial-number-based onboarding process. Once the printer is on the network, users simply enter the printer serial number into their application, perform a brief printer operation, and the device automatically connects to Star’s cloud infrastructure. A confirmation printout verifies successful enrollment.

    This marks a major improvement over traditional self-hosted CloudPRNT deployments, which typically require logging into a printer web interface or utility application, manually enabling CloudPRNT, entering server URLs, rebooting the device, and then completing application-side configuration.

    “Easy Deployment removes unnecessary friction from cloud printing. By shifting infrastructure management to Star and simplifying onboarding to just a few steps, ISVs can deploy faster, merchants can get up and running with minimal effort, and support teams can spend less time troubleshooting setup issues.”

    Mark Rasho, Integrations Manager at Star Micronics America

    Key Benefits of Easy Deployment Include:

    • Dramatically reduced setup steps compared to traditional CloudPRNT deployments
    • No server hosting or URL configuration required
    • Faster, more consistent installations across multiple locations
    • Lower risk of setup errors and misconfiguration
    • Immediate confirmation of successful connection via printer output

    Easy Deployment is designed specifically for use with StarIO.Online, Star’s fully managed cloud printing service, which handles server infrastructure, device communication, and monitoring on behalf of the customer. This approach allows ISVs to focus on core application development while Star manages the complexities of cloud printing at scale. Star offers a 90-day free trial for StarIO.Online.

    The new deployment method further reinforces Star Micronics’ commitment to simplifying POS integration and delivering future-ready solutions for modern, cloud-based retail and hospitality environments.

  • Star Micronics Expands ESC/POS Printer Compatibility Across Thermal and Impact Printing Solutions

    Star Micronics Expands ESC/POS Printer Compatibility Across Thermal and Impact Printing Solutions

    New ESC/POS printer support includes the TSP100IV series, including SK models, and LAN-based ESC/POS emulation for the SP742 impact printer.

    Somerset, NJ – January 30, 2026 – Star Micronics today announced expanded ESC/POS printer support for the TSP100IV thermal printer series, including TSP100IV SK models, and added LAN-based ESC/POS emulation for the SP742 impact printer. This update extends across the UE and X4 models, including both receipt and linerless sticky label printers. It gives retailers, resellers, and software developers the flexibility to expand their Star hardware portfolio or move to Star, even when their current applications rely on ESC/POS support.

    TSP143IV Series with ESC/POS: Compact & Connected

    The TSP143IV UE (thermal receipt) and TSP143IV UE SK (linerless sticky label) provide a balance of compact design and versatile connectivity. Both models feature USB-C, LAN, CloudPRNT, and Android Open Accessory (AOA) support. With the addition of ESC/POS emulation, integration with legacy systems is even simpler.

    TSP143IV X4 Series with ESC/POS: Future-Proof Versatility

    The TSP143IV X4 (thermal receipt) and TSP143IV SK X4 (linerless sticky label) printers bring four interfaces in one device — “Ultra-C” USB-C, LAN, WLAN, and Bluetooth — along with CloudPRNT Next for faster, more reliable cloud-based printing. Now with ESC/POS emulation, the X4 series ensures maximum compatibility while maintaining industry-leading performance and connectivity.

    Shared Features Across All Models

    • ESC/POS emulation for broader software support
    • High-speed thermal printing (up to 250mm/s on receipt models, 180mm/s on SK label models)
    • Built-in guillotine auto-cutters
    • Compact, space-saving design with internal power supply
    • EnergyStar certification and eco-friendly packaging with minimal plastic

    SP742 Impact Printer Adds ESC/POS Support via LAN

    Star Micronics has also expanded ESC/POS™ emulation support to its SP742 impact printer with the LAN interface. This update enables broader compatibility with legacy POS systems that rely on ESC/POS while continuing to support environments that require durable, impact-printed output. The SP742 remains well suited for kitchens, back-office operations, and other applications where impact printing is preferred.

    Supporting Retail & Hospitality Innovation

    “By adding ESC/POS emulation to all four models in the TSP100IV series, we’re giving businesses and ISVs greater flexibility without compromising the advanced performance that defines Star. Whether for receipts or linerless sticky labels, the UE and X4 models deliver the connectivity, reliability, and sustainability today’s businesses need.”

    Christophe Naasz, Global Director of Business Development at Star Micronics

By pairing real-time order visibility with Star’s labeling technology, operators gain a physical verification layer that extends accuracy beyond the screen and into packaging, pickup, and delivery. 

    Each item is clearly labeled, verified, and traceable, reducing missed items, eliminating confusion at handoff, and helping order fulfillment teams consistently deliver the right order to the right customer. 

    Designed for Modern Ordering Channels

    As ordering expands across dine-in, kiosk, BOPIS, curbside, and third-party delivery, retailers and restaurants must manage more complexity with less margin for error. The Star Micronics and Logic Controls partnership supports: 

    • Third-party delivery and BOPIS by clearly labeling orders for correct pickup and handoff 
    • Kiosk and in-store ordering by maintaining item identification through prep and expo

Ideal for cannabis packaging stations and weighing counters, it prints receipts, tags, strain labels, shelf labels, linerless labels, and die-cut compliance labels from a single device. The X4 models offer all four connectivity options (USB, LAN, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi) and support One Touch Label for fast, stored-label printing in high-volume environments.
    • The TSP143IV X4 and SK X4 Series: Advanced thermal printers with four connectivity interfaces, Bluetooth-assisted Wi-Fi setup, and CloudPRNT Next compatibility for reliable multi-location and delivery routing. The SK X4 model supports removable sticky linerless labels, making it well-suited for prescription bags, order pickup, curbside/drive-up, and online cannabis ordering workflows.
    • StarIO.Online: A fully managed cloud printing service that removes the need for local servers or custom infrastructure. Cannabis retailers and ISVs can use a single dashboard to monitor device health, push remote updates, and manage printers across multiple dispensaries, improving visibility and control for delivery services, grow facilities, and vertically integrated operators.
    • CD5 Max Series Cash Drawers: Star’s most durable cash drawer line, built for cash-heavy cannabis retail. With all-steel construction, dual printer-driven and USB interfaces, a five-year warranty, and optional accessories, the CD5 Max Series provides secure, long-lasting cash handling for high-volume dispensaries.
    • Star Blue Eco Receipt Paper and Labels: Eco-friendly, BPA/BPS-free, Prop 65 compliant paper and label rolls that support compliant printing for weighing slips, product labels, pickup receipts, and customer transactions. Designed for optimal performance with Star printers, Star Blue Eco helps cannabis businesses meet sustainability expectations without sacrificing print clarity.

    Star Micronics Introduces StarIO.Online, a Fully Managed Cloud Printing Service for ISVs

    ISVs can provide their users with cloud printing services without the need to host or maintain infrastructure.

    Somerset, NJ – October 8, 2025 – Star Micronics, a leading provider of point-of-sale (POS) and cloud technology solutions, today announced the release of StarIO.Online, a fully managed cloud printing service designed for independent software vendors (ISVs) and technology providers.

    StarIO.Online offers the same seamless integration process as CloudPRNT with minimal code and simple API calls, but eliminates the need for ISVs to host or manage their own printing server. Star oversees the servers, monitoring, and uptime, allowing ISVs to focus on application development and customer delivery.

    “StarIO.Online gives ISVs an easier path to added value. You can provide cloud printing services across 10 or 1,000+ customers with zero infrastructure burden. It’s your code and our cloud, together producing powerful results.”

    Jon Levin, Director of Product Management at Star Micronics

    Key advantages of cloud printing with StarIO.Online include:

    • No hosting requirements. Star manages all infrastructure and uptime.
    • Rapid scaling. Support from single-site customers to large enterprise deployments.
    • Streamlined integration. One REST-style API call connects applications directly to Star’s managed cloud.
    • Broad compatibility. Works with any CloudPRNT and CloudPRNT Next compatible printer, including receipt, label, and kitchen models.

    “Many ISVs are seeking ways to reduce the time and resources devoted to server maintenance. StarIO.Online simplifies this process by offering a managed solution that helps software providers grow without adding IT overhead.”

    Jon Levin, Director of Product Management

    StarIO.Online is available immediately with a 90-day free trial, followed by subscription-based pricing. Developers can sign up at https://starmicronics.com/stario.
