  • For Android Users, The TSP143IVUE Printer is AOA-OK!

    For Android Users, The TSP143IVUE Printer is AOA-OK!

    At Star Micronics, we’re always attuned to market dynamics and trends. Following our successful launch of MFi technology, which facilitated seamless Lightning connections between our printers and Apple’s iOS devices, we recognized the surging adoption of Android devices in powering small business point-of-sale (POS) systems.

    To remain at the forefront of industry innovation, we swiftly adapted to serve this expanding Android market segment, ensuring compatibility and operational excellence.

    Embracing the Android Open Accessory (AOA) protocol has been transformative for both software developers and business owners. The TSP143IVUE is ultra-connected and boasts an array of features ensuring future-proof adaptability. With AOA integration, this thermal printer not only streamlines operations but also underscores the sophistication and innovation at the helm of today’s businesses.

    Let’s dive into the specs for the TSP143IVUE, but first, let’s find out what AOA is:

    What is Android Open Accessory (AOA)?

    Android puts it best on their website, so why ruin a good thing?

    Here’s what they said about AOA:

    “Android Open Accessory (AOA) support allows external USB hardware (Android USB accessories) to interact with Android-powered devices in accessory mode. When an Android-powered device is in accessory mode, the connected accessory acts as the USB host (powers the bus and enumerates devices) and the Android-powered device acts as the USB accessory.”

    Star Micronics receipt and label printers have models that support the Android Open Accessory (AOA) protocol.

    “Android USB accessories are designed to attach to Android-powered devices. Such accessories adhere to AOA, enabling them to detect Android-powered devices that support accessory mode, and must provide 500mA at 5V for charging power.

    Some previously-released Android-powered devices are capable of acting only as a USB device and cannot initiate connections with external USB devices. AOA support overcomes this limitation, enabling you to build accessories that can initiate connections and interact with an assortment of Android-powered devices.”

    The TSP143IVUE Thermal Printer Supports AOA

    Star’s new innovative printing solution accommodates the fast-growing Android-user market with the connectivity people want. The future-proof TSP143IVUE supports the Android Open Accessory (AOA) protocol, allowing the printer to communicate with and power most Android devices when plugged in.

    With its modern design, enhanced connectivity, ease of integration, and 20% smaller footprint than its predecessor, the TSP143IVUE is the perfect solution for the demands of today’s market.

    The TSP143IVUE Supports CloudPRNT & More

    Along with AOA support, adding a USB/LAN Dual Interface and CloudPRNT to the newest TSP143IVUE thermal receipt printer has fully elevated our popular printing series for today’s needs. This advanced printing solution seamlessly integrates with Android, iOS, and Windows applications, offering unparalleled versatility and ease of use.

    Plus, it’s backward compatible with its previous version, the TSP143III, making it effortless for people to upgrade.

    It’s also Cloud Ready, connecting to cloud-based POS software and Star Micronics Cloud Services. Star’s Cloud Services enable offsite device monitoring in real-time, custom-designed promotions, and more. 

    Here are some key features of the TSP143IVUE:

    • A Dual Interface: LAN + USB (USB-C and USB-A)
    • A Compact and Ultra-Modern Design
    • AOA Protocol Support: Charging and Communicating with Android Devices
    • CloudPRNT technology to work with cloud-based software
    • 100% Cloud Ready with Star Micronics Cloud Services
    • Full compatibility with its previous version
    • 250mm/s High-Speed Thermal Printing
    • Easy “Drop-In & Print” Paper Loading

  • 2.4GHz or 5GHz: Which Do I Need For My Small Business?

    2.4GHz or 5GHz: Which Do I Need For My Small Business?

    If you’re a small business owner, understanding the difference between traditional 2.4GHz wireless bandwidth and the newer 5GHz might save you time, money, and future headaches. 

    Many consumers assume the higher number must be better, so they choose to use that for their devices. However, neither bandwidth is actually “better” than the other. They’re simply different, with each having pros and cons. Whether you want to use 2.4GHz or 5GHz bandwidth all boils down to what you need.

    First, let’s find out what the difference is between the two:

    The Differences Between 2.4GHz & 5GHz WiFi

    2.4GHz

    When it comes to wireless internet, 2.4GHz has been the standard used in various devices, including WiFi routers, microwave ovens, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, and wireless cameras. It allows devices to connect over a longer range and penetrates better through solid objects such as walls. It’s a perfectly high-functioning bandwidth but falters when it comes to how much data can be exchanged (uploaded or downloaded) within a particular length of time. Plus, it’s prone to disturbance and interference from other devices on the network because of overcrowding.

    5GHz

    As mentioned above, many devices use the 2.4GHz band. As the signal becomes overcrowded and causes a lot of interference, it slows down the network considerably. In this scenario, 5GHz appears to be the rescuer, having little to no interference. Many devices still don’t use it, so it’s less clogged. It relieves internet consumers from slow network speed and facilitates a higher data range. Its only drawback is that it doesn’t cover large areas or easily penetrate through solid objects.

    Connected city of the future.

    Is 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi Best For My Business Environment?

    After learning the pros and cons of both frequencies, the most frequent question consumers ask is which band is preferable. Both certainly have perks, but you must consider some critical factors as a small business owner. 

    Start with determining the size of your workplace. Although the coverage area is decent and the bandwidth is more robust, 5GHz won’t be able to cover an extensive area. With larger spaces, 2.4GHz may be best suited for you. If your workplace has multiple devices using 2.4GHz wireless, it may cause interference and slow down your connection. In that case, perhaps 5GHz would be better for you.

    What devices are you using?

    Also, consider the devices you are using. How many only need a 2.4GHz network? Bluetooth devices and microwave ovens will only be using 2.4GHz, so if your business uses many, you may need 5GHz for other devices, like smartphones. Microwave ovens are staples in professional kitchens, so if you own a restaurant or food delivery service, you may also want to look into 5GHz.

    Remember that 2.4GHz uses long transmission waves that easily penetrate through solid walls and objects. It’s ideal for internet browsing, but 5GHz is the go-to for streaming or playing online games.

    Whether in retail or the restaurant industry, your answer depends on your business needs. Choosing which wireless bandwidth to employ is all about what best suits the environment of your workplace. Some businesses may get by using only 2.4GHz bandwidth, while others may need the extra power of 5GHz to make it work. The key is having the correct information and knowing what you need.

    Black and white mC-Print2 and mC-Print3 thermal receipt printers by Star Micronics.
    mC-Print21W & mC-Print31W

    With the mC-Print21W, the mC-Print31W, or the TSP143IVUW thermal receipt printers from Star, you get printing solutions that work on either bandwidth.

    Whichever bandwidth you need, Star Micronics has your printing solution. The mC-Print21W, mC-Print31W, and TSP143IVUW all support dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) WiFi. 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 2.4Ghz network. By offering a choice to use one of the two frequencies, 2.4GHz or 5GHz, these Star printers provide maximum flexibility when connecting to any network.

    These thermal printers are also Cloud Ready, able to connect to any cloud application that supports Star’s CloudPRNT technology.

They offer retailers and restaurateurs the next generation of POS printing, enabling marketing and receipt tools for the omnichannel world.

    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.
