NYC BBQ Landmark Goes Wireless

Three Printers Were Chosen to Integrate with Apple® iPad®

Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, recently had three different printers installed at celebrity owned restaurant, Southern Hospitality in New York City.

Breadcrumb POS, a leading New York based point of sale software developer, appointed the help of Star Micronics’ printers because of their ability to seamlessly integrate with an Apple® iPad®. Since the installation of the Breadcrumb POS software required five Apple® iPads®, one TSP743IIL Ethernet Thermal printer, three TSP743IIU USB Thermal printers, and one SP742ML Ethernet Impact printers were chosen. Also included in the installation were five MagTek iDynamo Swipes, five Archelon Security Stands, two APG Vessario VB320 Cash Drawers, and one Apple® Airport Extreme.

The management at Southern Hospitality initiated the install after they became frustrated with the high cost of their previous point of sale system. They also often suffered from system-wide crashes that would interrupt service for long periods of time.

The new installation required minimal training and started using the new POS system the same day it was installed. Southern Hospitality has reduced their business costs, increased operational visibility, and streamlined labor performance as a result of implementing the new POS solution.

Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, has announced that their TSP100 and TSP700II printers have been certified by Share One to integrate seamlessly with their NewSolutions software.

Share One  and Star’s relationship flourished after Share One began testing Star printers with their software. Share One began recommending and installing Star’s thermal printers when many of their customers decided to start replacing their dot matrix printers and transition to thermal printing technology.

“At Share One, we are constantly looking for solutions to help our clients achieve their budgetary and service goals,” stated Scott Bush, Chief Technology Officer at Share One.  “Star printers are cost effective, easy to install and offer our credit union customers the reliability they need.”

NewSolutions core processing software provides a full range of advanced features, including comprehensive support for consumer, mortgage, and commercial loans, a full suite of Internet based solutions, and can be delivered via in-house, service center, or server hosted. In order to become certified with NewSolutions software, the TSP100 and TSP700II had to have the ability to be implemented across multiple Windows platforms and be Citrix compliant.

“Star printers have long been a staple in the credit and banking markets. We are pleased to offer our printers to Share One’s clients and be aligned with such a reputable leader in this market,” said Christophe Naasz, Director of Marketing at Star Micronics America, Inc.

The TSP100 is the first all-in-one receipt printer and offers an internal power supply and high throughput of 22 receipts per minute (RPM). Star’s TSP700II boasts a print speed of 48 RPM and is ideal for high-volume establishments such as banks, credit unions and other financial institutions.

Healthcare Implementation of Tablet Technology on the Rise

It’s not just retail and hospitlality markets that are implementing tablet technology to interact with customers, healthcare is going strong as well…

Star Micronics Partners With ScriptRx                                        

Prescription Printers Will Integrate with Electronic Medical Records Software

Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, has announced their partnership with ScriptRx.

ScriptRx, a leader in touch screen electronic medical record (EMR) systems for the healthcare industry is now utilizing the TSP800IIRx printers from Star for its customers in emergency rooms and urgent care centers. The printers will be integrated with ScriptRx’s new tablet (iPad®) based EMR system.

The TSP800IIRx prints prescriptions using the latest EMR software in the industry. It is capable of printing 37 prescriptions per minute and features a locking mechanism to secure any sensitive roll of paper. The TSP800IIRx is a wide-format POS printer and is the only one on the market that provides printing on 3” to 4.4” wide paper.

The built-in prescription writing functionality within the ScriptRx EMR software makes prescription writing fast, easy and secure, while offering the option to print and/or E-prescribe to a pharmacy of the patient’s choice. The EMR software offers a fully-featured tool for rapidly and accurately creating and printing prescriptions and will take advantage of Star’s new wireless prescription printing feature.

“Urgent care centers and emergency rooms are fast-paced, high patient volume environments that demand speed and reliability from their electronic medical record systems,” stated Tim Coffield, CEO of ScriptRx. “Star’s TSP800IIRx gives us the quality and durability that will hold-up under these demanding conditions. The printer’s wireless functionality will be embraced by urgent care operates who will not have to equip each exam room with computer hardware, as they will use ScriptRx’s EMR on their iPads® and transport the wireless prescription printer from room-to-room.”

“Our partnership with ScriptRx will provide urgent care centers and emergency departments with the ability to print prescriptions for patients quickly and easily,” stated Christophe Naasz, Director of Marketing at Star Micronics. “The secure and locking feature of the TSP800IIRx is specifically important for many doctors and patients, and will be a great addition to the ScriptRx EMR system.”

POS Printers, Not Just for Retail and Hospitality Outlets

Reviewing our tradeshow schedule for the upcoming weeks, I noticed how much our show demographics have changed and grown to include so much more than our traditional retail and hospitality shows. The first  half of 2012 will see Star printers at card technology and transaction shows. healthcare shows for our secured prescription printer, and banking shows.  Star offers unique solutions for non-traditional POS markets.

One of our offers for the banking industry is the FVP10 printer.  The versatile FVP-10 has become a popular install in credit unions. It also pairs well with Canon’s imageFORMULA CR-80 Check Transport, which is an easy-to-use solution offering high-quality image scanning, precise MICR accuracy, and reliable item handling. Reaching scanning speeds of up to 80 cpm(2), it is ideal for moving paper checks and related small documents in front-counter bank teller settings, for merchant/remote deposit capture (RDC) applications, and for low-volume remittance processing. Star’s  FVP-10 thermal receipt printer,  when combined with the CR-80, using the mounting platform accessory developed by Star,  delivers a stable teller window/retail Point of Sale (POS) solution with a small footprint. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/canon-showcasing-imageformula-scanning-solutions-for-community-banks-at-icba-techworld-show-2012-03-09
