Star Micronics TSP100III Bluetooth Thermal Receipt Printer TSP143IIIBI
The Star Micronics TSP100III Bluetooth thermal receipt printer (TSP143IIIBI) prints receipts wirelessly from iPad and other iOS devices, Android tablets and Windows point-of-sale systems. Built for retail and hospitality counters, it prints at 250 mm per second and cuts each receipt automatically, so queues keep moving.
Key features
- Bluetooth with AutoConnect for iOS: the printer reconnects to your iPad after power-on or when it comes back into range, so staff are not re-pairing devices mid-shift.
- 250 mm/s print speed: receipts print quickly at busy registers and takeaway counters.
- Guillotine auto cutter rated for 2 million cuts: each receipt is cut cleanly without tearing by hand.
- Drop-in loading for 80 mm or 58 mm paper: rolls change in seconds, and a 58 mm paper guide is included.
- Internal power supply: no external power brick cluttering the counter.
