*Refer to this for supporting devices.

Service Concept

The main use case is device control through the cloud server provided by Star Micronics, such as remote printing to a printer.
Establishing and/or operating a new server for controlling devices made by Star Micronics is not necessary.
Various functions which can be used without integration are available such as printing via e-mail and a dashboard for device management.

Easy coordination with API
Using Web API provided by Star Micronics allows a printer and host application to be coordinated with the technology without developing a new application.
Easy setup
As the Star CloudPRNT technology is applied, a connection is completed only by registering a server URL for StarIO.Online. In addition, as printing data in the form of Star Document Markup are supported, printing data can be easily generated.
Efficient operation and high extensibility
As a server provided by Star Micronics is used, users can reduce time and cost for establishing and operating new servers; also users can add devices as required according to business growth without paying attention to server upgrading.
Coordination with Webhook function
Webhook-based notifications, such as device status changes, print execution results, and new device connection to a group, are supported.

Printing flows vary according to a connection setting to a target printer in the execution of a printing request.
