Star Micronics, a manufacturer of mobile, point-of-sale and customer engagement technologies, has introduced an addition to its mCollection printer, the mPOP model POP10Ci. The POP10Ci offers direct iOS connectivity and supports Windows and Android devices, and is optimal as a peripheral for tablet- and mobile-based POS systems, according to a press release.
With Apple MFi certification, the POP10Ci allows a direct USB-C connection with the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, enabling it to charge an iOS device while data is transferring using the same charge cord included with the iOS device.
The unit has USB-A and USB-B ports for connecting external devices or peripherals such as the optional 2D barcode scanner or LCD customer-facing display.
The mPOP line combines a 2-inch thermal receipt printer with «drop-in and print» paper loading and a flat bill till featuring a 4-bill and 4- or 6-coin slot design.
Star Micronics also offers the mUnite EZPOS tablet display stand.
