Features

Easy switching from wired to wireless connection without additional settings to the application

By connecting Wireless LAN Unit and the thermal printer with LAN cable and using the “Star Quick Setup Utility”, you can easily make it wireless without complicated work. If the printer is already connected via a wired LAN, there is no need to change the settings of the host application (mPOS, etc.), and it provides easy switching to a wireless LAN. The online manual is also available.

Safe use in the kitchen by supporting 5GHz bands with low risk of interference

Communication sometimes interferes around a microwave oven. This product supports not only 2.4GHz but also 5GHz, which has less risk of interference with other radio waves, and you can use it without anxiety even in such a case. Therefore, it is possible to use it in the kitchen where wireless LAN is difficult to use.

Realizes a neat layout without restrictions on wiring or installation location

Even in stores where wiring work is difficult or where complicated wiring is a problem, by switching to a wireless network connection, the printer installation location will not be restricted by wiring. As a result, the degree of freedom in the installation location increases, and a neat store layout can be realized.

※A wireless LAN base unit is required for wireless and Internet connection.
※Please refer to the online manual for applicable wireless printers.
