Star Micronics TSP143IIILAN Ethernet (LAN) Thermal Receipt Printer with Auto-Cutter and Internal Power Supply - Gray

Our Bluetooth Thermal Receipt Printer for Square was becoming increasingly unreliable, dropping its connection during busy hours. This Star Micronics USB option has proved to be the perfect solution. Out of the box ready and easy to install, without any issues so far.

As a small business owner heavily reliant on streamlined transactions and efficient operations, investing in the Star Micronics TSP143IIIW Wi-Fi Thermal Receipt Printer was an absolute game-changer. The printer, which is equipped with wireless connectivity and a host of features, has significantly enhanced my point-of-sale experience.This printer has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Its seamless wireless connectivity, rapid printing speed, and superb print quality have revolutionized my point-of-sale operations, enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to use a variety of devices to print orders.

Just what I hoped for and ordered. Works great.

I've had this unit for a week, it prints ok but keeps turning off like there is a short in the cord which happens several times throughout the day. I have contacted Amazon to contact the seller in hopes of a solution to fix or replace. I will update my review with the results of the outcome good or bad. As a small business owner I hope for the best possible outcome.

So like many restaurants who are forced to offer as many take out and delivery services out there we've recently had to sign up for multiple delivery services.But if you're just relying on the old regular printer ink and paper (using a B/W Laser printer). Its not the cost its the time and space these things take up. Especially if you need to stock up. Since we use a wired LAN order ticketing system - the 3 1/8 thermal rolls are already in use (which this printer uses).So win win - we have the consumables - now we just need the printer that WORKS with the kiosk locked tablets supplied by <<insert your delivery service here>>.So I have 3 tabletsService Is it compatible?Seamless/Grubhub YesDoorDash NoUberEats NoSetup:Its straight forward:1. Load the thermal roll2. Plug in power3. Start the installation processInstallation/Setup:This is the WIFI model.Standard setup is to set the printer into "connect" mode and you click the WPS button on your WiFi Router and Bam you should be connected ( this is true for MOST setups ).We installed a more robust and secure enterprise setup (Ubiquiti Access Points if anyone cares) and being enterprise doesnt have a WPS option (security and all). So to set this up manually:1. GET your WiFi Network info. SSID (exact case sensitivity name) and Password and security type.2. Download the printer APP to the phone (IOS and Android Avail)3. Connect to the PRINTER as it defaults out of box as a Access Point (go to wifi settings on your phone etc etc)4. Start up the printer specific App, select the printer you want to edit, click settings and look for WLAN settings.5. Change printer WLAN from ADHOC access point to Infrastructure mode and fill in with details gathered in step 16. Save and Send commits to the printer7. Printer should flash and if you view printers from a computer on the network you should see this printer available as a network printer if everything worked.8. Go to Seamless tablet and click on settings9. Add printer and a PRINTER will show up now10. Set auto print and the # of tickets you want to print.11. Voila when a delivery order comes in it auto prints and front end just needs to keep a ticket and 2nd copy goes to kitchen.My difficulties in setup is due in part to my pre-existing setup. But once it got it going boy was it a time money and reputation (team members kept forgetting to check the app to manually PRINT on the pc) saver.Oh what about the other two delivery services? I had to order the BLUETOOTH thermal printer... Its arriving shortly and ill update if that is compatible with all three tablets once I get it :).

Print quality, print speed, and ease of use is perfect. Zero complaints there. Installing the driver and software on the other hand was less than straight forward. I was unable to figure it out after two days, and our tech guy spent one whole day working on it before it functioned properly.I'll still buy more of these in the future, but making the driver and software more readily available in it's fully updated form would make this product a must for any sales operation.

This is NOT an easy to install, plug and play printer. You need pro knowledge and a bit of a network knowledge to be able to install this. I myself have installed hundreds of these and for me, it's a 3 minute task.Your network should be 2.4GHZ compatible. Most people think mesh networks do not have 2.4 channel but in reality, 99% of them do.You need to make your network's 2.4GHZ discoverable in order to connect this printer. (Google how to turn on 2.4 GHZ on "whatever your mesh network is (eero, orbi etc)" then follow the video instructions on how to connect the printer provided by star mocronics on youtube. It may take a few tries but once it connects, you can forget about the printer and it'll work for many many years.

We tried the Star WiFi printer but it kept losing connection so I purchased this cat-5 wired printer, ran the wire, and plugged it in. Five months in we haven’t lost one order to the vapors - this printer just works and works and works. It is a workhorse with no apparent weaknesses.
