Star Micronics launches CloudPRNT-POS
Star Micronics announces the launch
of its new and unique Cloud-
PRNT-POS solution that allows retail-
ers to benefit from Tablet POS with
complete USB peripheral control
from a web-based application on any
device with a browser.
Tablet POS offers the advantages
of versatile Cloud-based software
alongside compact, low-cost hard-
ware. However, it has one disad-
vantage and this is no connected
peripheral control. Recognising this,
Star has developed a solution that
allows cloud-based software to run
on any tablet or smartphone with
peripherals controlled through the
printer to provide a complete POS
transactional solution with all the
advantages of Tablet POS.
The Star TSP654II Cloud-
PRNT-POS can be used as a hub

providing IP connectivity via wired
Ethernet or WiFi with peripheral
support, by means of 2 USB host
ports with full status back. Connect-
ing the Star printer and device to the
same network creates a complete
and connected Tablet Point of Sale
application that’s easily accessible on
any Internet-enabled device.
“Star is proud to provide this
new and innovative solution that
means Tablet POS is now viable for
all retailers who can take advantage
of not only hardware cost savings,
but also the flexibility of cloud-based
software. Cloud-based software
peripheral management was out of
reach for many retailers but, once
again, Star’s innovation has created a
cost-effective solution”, said Annette
Tarlton, Marketing Director, Star
Micronics EMEA. n

Diebold Nixdorf has been
awarded the prestigious Red
Dot Product Design Award for
its new interactive retail kiosk
solution, the K-two. Internationally
recognised as the authority for
product design quality, The Red
Dot Awards, presented by Design
Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen,
are selected by 40 independent
designers, design professors and
trade journalists. Diebold Nixdorf’s
systems were honoured by the
expert panel for their combina-
tion of functionality, design and
their intuitive, fast and convenient
operation.
The K-two retail kiosk is dis-
tinguished by a user-friendly and
flexible design that can be easily
adapted to changing business
needs and consumer demands.
It’s built for 24/7 operation and of-
fers flexible configuration options.
Retailers can choose between
22 and 27in multi-touchscreens,
install the unit as a stand-alone
kiosk or in a back-to-back format,
and even mount it on a pole or
on a wall, making it the perfect
kiosk for businesses that demand
tailored solutions.
“I want to congratulate the
award winners on their wonderful
success in the Red Dot Award:
Product Design 2018. Success
in the competition is proof of
the good design quality of the
products and once again shows
that companies are on the right
path,” said Dr Peter Zec, founder
and CEO of the Red Dot Award.
“When I speak about good design,
I am referring to more than just
an attractive product. All of the
products are characterised by
outstanding functionality." n
