4 Reasons to Switch to Star CloudPRNT as an alternative to Google Cloud Print

Post author By SMSA
Post date 16/11/2020

4 Reasons to Switch to Star CloudPRNT

as an alternative to Google Cloud Print

As we are sure many business owners are already aware, Google Cloud Print will no longer be supported after 31st December 2020. This is no doubt disruptive to many businesses that use this service and, as the date looms ahead, it is important to switch to an alternative Cloud printing solution.

Cloud printing is a key part of keeping operations such as restaurants, takeaways, click and collect and warehouses organized and running smoothly. If you’re a developer of web-based point of sale software or a business using Google Cloud Print with receipt, label or ticket printers, Star is pleased to offer Star CloudPRNT™, which is not only a replacement for Google Cloud Print in these environments but also offers additional key features specifically designed for printing to smaller format receipt and order printers. Star CloudPRNT is complimentary with any compatible Star printing product.

Print From Anywhere To Any Connected Printer

Star’s CloudPRNT technology allows for secure remote printing directly from web servers straight to the printer, regardless of the printer’s location. CloudPRNT works with web-based applications to deliver print jobs and communicate status with the printer. Cloud POS services post information using a JSON format, while the Star CloudPRNT printer pulls this information at defined intervals. A tablet or POS system in store to send information to the printer is no longer necessary, which simplifies the process. This is ideal for click and collect services or restaurants and takeaways operating an online ordering system, as the ordering service is able to directly communicate with the printer. Additionally, service providers and store owners don’t need to maintain an SSL certificate for CloudPRNT printers since the printer communicates with the server as a client.

Connect Peripherals for a Fully Functional POS System

CloudPRNT communicates directly with the server and is able to control different peripherals connected to the printer, such as cash drawer, scanner, digital display for retail and buzzer alert which is ideal for kitchen environments. This enables a versatile POS system, capable of operating in a variety of different environments. Additionally, merchants are able to print to Star ticket andlabel printers using CloudPRNT which will automatically align each print-out correctly for increased accuracy in a store, warehouse, restaurant or unattended kiosk environment.

Included with compatible Star Products

STAR CloudPRNT is compatible with the product as below.

CloudPRNT is also included with Star’s new TSP654IISK HIX cost effective, eco-friendly direct thermal linerless repositionable label printer. All are able to be easily integrated into existing web and cloud-based software and apps for a simple solution to allow businesses to seamlessly integrate online transactions into their operations.

Easily Integrated into POS Software

Star CloudPRNT is simple to integrate into POS software and supports native and web based point of sale system software. CloudPRNT can be hosted by the solution provider or independent software vendor and is able to be built into the software in the desired languages. Star offers a CloudPRNT SDK with features able to assist with status decoding, print job media format negotiation as well as print job conversion, and includes a number of specific tools to assist with integration. Star has also developed a free CloudPRNT for WooCommerce plug-in to simplify integration with WooCommerce sites.

The Lowdown on Star’s New mC-Print3 USB-C Model

Post author By SMSA
Post date 18/08/2020

The Lowdown on Star’s New mC-Print3 USB-C Model

The Star mC-Print™ is a small yet powerful printer that combines Star’s innovative technology and functionality. Already available in 2” and 3” versions with direct connectivity to iOS devices, it’s now available as a USB-C® version with Star mCP31C and mCP31CB for direct connectivity, power delivery and internet connection to Android, Windows and Mac USB-C devices. This is ideal for businesses already operating or looking to purchase USB-C tablets with the new EU mandate for common charger standards.

Outstanding Connectivity

With Ethernet LAN, USB-C interface and the alternative, factory option of a Bluetooth Interface, the mC-Print3 receipt printer can be integrated into any traditional or tablet POS application. Star’s unique USB-C cable port provides USB device charging and direct data transfer between Android, Windows and Mac devices and the printer as well as network connectivity via a single USB cable. With web and Cloud connectivity also included, the new models offer retailers a broad choice of connectivity which can grow and adapt with their business.

SteadyLAN

Star’s unique SteadyLAN™ technology is included with the mC-Print C models, enabling the tablet to have a wired Ethernet connection via the printer instead of, or as well as, a WiFi and / or Bluetooth connection. This ensures that the tablet can be connected to the internet at all times, reducing the risk of downtime due to a weak or intermittent internet signal. When the tablet is disconnected from the printer, it will revert to WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity depending on the model. As well as this, SteadyLAN allows simultaneous data and power delivery from the printer to the tablet, ensuring that the device is constantly charged.

Hub Functionality

Both mCP31C and mCP31CB offer 2 USB-A Host Ports for Multiple Peripheral Hub Functionality. With a single power source you can effectively build your own POS station simply by connecting a USB scanner, keypad, customer display, RFID device etc. to the mC-Print hub. Additionally, cash drawers and Kitchen buzzers can also be connected to the RJ-11 port. This is perfect for retail applications, pop up shops, boutiques and salons which have minimal space to reduce cabling requirements.

Star PassPRNT and CloudPRNT

PassPRNT ™ and CloudPRNT™ are ideal for businesses using web and cloud based POS software or offering an online ordering or delivery service. Star CloudPRNT works with the online ordering service to create print jobs and communicate directly with the printer. Cloud ordering services post orders using a JSON format while the Star CloudPRNT printer will pull these orders at a defined interval. This removes the need for an additional tablet or POS system in store and staff having to key in and send an online order to the printer. The online ordering service is able to communicate with the printer directly reducing hardware costs and eliminating keying errors. Star is always developing and streamlining its CloudPRNT software to make integration and use easier for customers.

StarPrinter.online is the latest development within Star’s CloudPRNT technology, allowing stores the ability to simply send an e-mail to print customer orders, making the process even easier and requiring less integration. Technology such as Star CloudPRNT will become essential for POS printer communication once Google Cloud Print is discontinued at the end of 2020. Star printers are also compatible with Shopify and WooCommerce along with other major e-commerce platforms offering stores even greater flexibility. Setting up online ordering has become more crucial than ever. Star recently developed a free WooCommerce plugin to make printing online orders and customer receipts even more effortless.

Kiosk and Self Service

With a compact, front paper loading design, unique connectivity and paper near end sensor included, the mCP31C and mCP31CB are ideal for use in Windows or Android based kiosks where the SteadyLAN functionality can also ensure internet connectivity at all times.

Seamless Integration

Star’s mC-Print series is compatible with POS and hospitality software used globally within retail and hospitality businesses. Online, responsive support manuals and diagnostics are available including animated LED indication making the mC-Print3 simple to install and configure from a mobile device. For software developers and integrators, the mC-Print3 has never been simpler to integrate.

The mCollection driver set for Windows including OPOS and JavaPOS drivers is available to download from Star’s Global Support site. iOS and Android utility apps are on the respective App store or Google Play store, accessed via a QR code from the printer self-test, and the printers also have a web-based configuration.
