Star Micronics Introduces WebPRNT

EDISON, NJ--(Marketwired - Oct 31, 2013) - Keeping up with the emerging omnichannel business model and growing customer demand for mobility, businesses are turning to web-based applications as a cost effective way to stay agile. Web-based point-of-sale (POS) services are becoming more commonplace as businesses streamline their operations and create mobile friendly environments for their customers.

To support customers' use of web-based POS applications, Star Micronics delivers WebPRNT, an innovative device-agnostic receipt printing technology that supports HTTP requests used in web-based applications.

WebPRNT is currently available with Star's TSP650II thermal receipt printer, which is equipped with Ethernet connectivity. It is easy to read, maintain and modify for developers. Simply use the appropriate XML tags, or integrate Star's WebPRNT Javascript library into your web-based application, to begin printing from your application to Star's TSP650II WebPRNT thermal receipt printer.

In addition to web-based applications, Star's WebPRNT also supports HTTP requests from native applications.
