Building on the worldwide success of the Star Micronics’ TSP100 futurePRNT™ Series, Star Micronics is pleased to announce that not only has it launched the world’s first ECO POS printer dedicated to minimising IT environmental impact within the retail market, but it can also claim that it must now be the most energy-efficient single station receipt printer launched to date.

The TSP100 ECO was introduced to the market at NRF (National Retail Federation Exhibition), New York in January 2010 and will be on show to the European market at the retail exhibition EuroCIS taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany in March.  As the name suggests, the TSP100 ECO will demonstrate a gamut of features designed to reduce environmental impact from all angles including a sophisticated power management system, which results in nearly 50% less average power consumption than any existing single station POS printer available.

“The TSP100 ECO is a direct response to worldwide demand to reduce carbon emissions and retailers’ responsibility to reduce energy consumption enabling them to save money and contribute to the battle against global warming”, stated Simon Martin, Director and General Manager of Star Micronics EMEA & India.  He went on to say “Combining futurePRNT’s unique hardware and software advantages with dramatic power saving will empower retailers to embrace this unique cost-effective POS printer solution”.

Star Micronics Co, Ltd has calculated the TSP100 ECO power consumption savings over a 5-year period to be 36.7kWh (based on 5 years of usage, 24 hours, 7 days a week producing 300 receipts per day).  According to these results, the new TSP100 ECO demonstrates an energy-efficient advantage over all competitors’ models, even the most well-known.

The TSP100 ECO is the latest generation of the Star futurePRNT Series launched in 2005. Previous additions have included the world’s first dedicated single station Powered USB and LAN models as well as the 250mm/second TSP100GT Series which also broke records by being the fastest single station POS printer available at that time. (Note: Star TSP700II also features speeds of 250mm/second).
