Star Micronics takes remote PC-free Cloud
Printing to a new level
Star Micronics has announced that
its unique mC-Print series offers Star
CloudPRNT technology for remote
PC-free printing of receipts and
tickets directly from a web server to
Star mC-Print2 or mC-Print3 printers
located anywhere in the world. Ideal
for applications across retail and
hospitality including Click & Collect
in-store orders, event ticketing and
online food ordering, etc. mC-Print
offers a low cost, compact and
versatile Cloud printing solution.
 The mC-Print series provides not
only the unique functionality of five
interfaces and multiple peripheral
support but connectivity for the
retailer’s transitional journey from
traditional EPOS to cloud-based tablet
POS in order to meet the needs of an
evolving multichannel environment.
Up until now, making the
transition to cloud-based tablet POS
has been expensive, particularly
for small to medium-sized retailers.
Recognising this, Star has developed
the mC-Print series featuring 58mm
and 80mm print width models with
a multiple POS peripheral Hub – all
at a much lower cost than previously
available on the market and including
extra interfaces for both traditional
and tablet POS. With a single power
source, the Hub allows retailers
to create a POS station by simply
connecting a choice of scanner and
customer display.
 The entire mC-Print series is
cloud-ready including the entry-
level mC-Print20 with LAN and USB
interfaces. Star’s mC-Print21 LB (LAN
and Bluetooth) and mC-Print3 L and
LB models feature 2 USB host ports
for local or cloud-based peripheral
control of Star’s SCD222 customer
display and/or Star’s 1D scanner
or the Symbol / Zebra DS9208 2D
scanner. The range of Cloud printing
applications is endless and can
include customer online ordering
within retail and hospitality as well
as corporate print tasks such as
warehouse order picking. n
