Star Micronics Teams Up With ConnectBusiness

TSP143L Connects Seamlessly to ConnectBusiness App


EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - May 30, 2012) - Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, recently announced a partnership with ConnectBusiness. ConnectBusiness offers the only cloud based POS system that works seamlessly with any device.

ConnectBusiness offers an iPad POS system that works natively on Apple®'s iPad® and a web based POS app that is compatible with any Internet enabled device, including a computer, tablet or smartphone. With both apps, ConnectBusiness has integrated full support for the TSP143L. The web offers instructions for using the printer with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, which includes information on how to format receipts and set the cash drawer to automatically detect the printer if its hooked up to the network. Since all the formatting and cash drawer functionality is already built into the app, it's easy for users to get started.

The TSP143L is an all-in-one receipt printer that offers an internal power supply and a high throughput of 22 receipts per minute (RPM). It also features "Plug & Play" USB on Ethernet drivers and "Drop-In and Print" paper loading.

"The integration went through without complications, thanks to help on Star Micronics' end," commented Subodh Gupta, President and Founder of ConnectBusiness. "We are excited to now offer support for the TSP143L to our customers and provide them with a better overall point of sale experience."

"The new partnership we have formed with ConnectBusiness confirms our commitment to developing printing solutions that evolve with the latest technology trends," stated Christophe Naasz, Director of Marketing at Star Micronics.
