  • Star Micronics Introduces the Newest Line of the Wireless mC-Print Family

    Star Micronics Introduces the Newest Line of the Wireless mC-Print Family

    Star Micronics releases the newest mC-Print2 and mC-Print3 wireless printers featuring dual-band WiFi connection capability.

    Somerset, NJ – March 15, 2022 – Continuing its “Always Leading – Always Innovating philosophy,” Star Micronics is pleased to announce the launch of new wireless models in the mC-Print Series.

    Star Micronics, an industry leader in POS and online ordering solutions, has created new models within the mC-Print family to offer the ultimate WLAN solution. With dual-band wireless technology, these printing solutions are perfect for any business needing a wireless printing environment.

    Other devices can also become wireless using the additional ethernet port of the mC-Print31W or 21W. This erases the need to connect the additional device directly to the router, which may be far away or in an inconvenient location.

    The innovative mC-Print21W and mC-Print31W become the hubs that bring wireless connections to other needed peripherals such as payment terminals or other printers.

    These innovative printing solutions support dual-band wireless connections (2.4GHz / 5GHz). Networks that need long-distance coverage can use 2.4GHz. The more powerful 5GHz is best for reducing lag and interference, especially in busy kitchens with microwaves and hardware that compete for bandwidth on a 2.4 GHz network.

    By offering a choice to use one of the two frequencies, 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, these Star printers provide maximum flexibility when connecting to an existing or new network.

    With the addition of Star Micronics Cloud Services, which includes a digital journal, cloud promotion print management, and device monitoring, the mC-Print21W and mC-Print31W offer retailers and restaurateurs the next generation of POS printing, enabling marketing and receipt tools for the omnichannel world.

    Featuring a wide range of OS support, including Windows, iOS, Android, web- and cloud-based applications, these new high-speed printers boast multiple connectivity options such as USB, Bluetooth, Ethernet, iOS Lightning, CloudPRNT, and WLAN. Setup is also effortless with the easy-to-use app, “Star Quick Setup Utility.”

    With their flat-top, space-saving design, these printers are not only stylish but splash- and insect-proof as well. The mC-Print21W and mC-Print31W are genuinely the ultimate printing solutions.

    Future-proof and able to satisfy an array of needs, whether you’re a technology provider or in a retail, hospitality, or any other environment, the mC-Print21W and mC-Print31W take printing to a higher level.

  • Star Micronics Releases StarXpand™ SDK for React Native

    Star Micronics Releases StarXpand™ SDK for React Native

    An industry-first, the SDK supports the integration of Star printers for React Native apps

    Somerset, NJ – April 8, 2021 – Star Micronics, a leading manufacturer of mobile, point of sale (POS), and customer engagement technologies, is excited to announce the release of the StarXpand™ SDK for React Native, a software development kit for Star printer control for the popular cross-platform framework, React Native.

    In the past, mobile POS applications had been developed exclusively for each operating system (OS), such as iOS and Android. However, in recent years cross-platform development – which allows more of the programs of an application to be developed with one code for multiple OS’s – is attracting attention. Cross-platform development is expected to become essential to application development in the future.

    To respond to this trend – and for the first time in the receipt printer industry – Star has developed StarXpand™ SDK for React Native. The SDK supports the development of connecting to and controlling Star printers in applications that utilize React Native. StarXpand™ SDK for React Native will help shorten the development time and maintenance costs associated with printer connection, and will be published on GitHub, a website where developers around the world publish and share program codes.

    StarXpand™ SDK for React Native uses a new StarIO10 framework which includes multiple advantages including: asynchronous communication allowing print jobs to happen in parallel; an emulation-free design so that one StarXpand™ document will work with any Star printer; human-readable command creation; faster printer search allowing users to discover all devices in under second; and a logging function between the OS and printer to be used for debugging.

    “As React Native becomes more prominent in the industry, the StarXpand™ SDK will be there to help developers easily create cross-platform POS solutions,” said Jon Levin, Director of Product Management at Star Micronics. “Easy-to-use and developer-friendly, the new StarIO10 framework is at the heart of that and will provide a great foundation for our SDKs going forward.”
