 Star has endeavoured to build the TSP100ECO futurePRNT printer with every ECO advantage. It is a well-known fact that printers permanently left powered-on waste power. However, it is not so well known that most of the CO2 damage caused by any POS printer is actually due to the paper consumed. Star has therefore researched and put in place unique paper saving features that could help the retailer use up to 70% less receipt paper. This not only reduces paper costs by up to 70% but also means less frequent paper roll changes at the checkout and lower transportation and logistics costs – basically a win-win situation for the planet and the retailer.
TSP100ECO Power Management
 The clever engineers at Star have designed the TSP100ECO to correspond directly to the PC it has been attached to. Users will first of all notice that there is no power switch and that the printer can only be turned on by actually attaching the included USB cable to the printer and PC / terminal. The printer will only activate when the PC / terminal is powered up otherwise it can remain in standby mode, thus saving power.
Most POS printers spend the major part of a day drawing current, but no t printing. Star's new power efficient method means the printer will revert with the PC to a very low powered standby mode when not in use, "instantly" waking up when needed saving costs and power usage. The TSP100ECO is fully Energy Star compliant.
TSP100ECO Paper Saving Tools
-
Unique Partial Cut 3mm Default Top Margin 
Star’s innovative engineering expertise has resulted in the TSP100 ECO being the only partial cut printer able to achieve a 3mm Top Margin, saving 8mm of paper for every receipt printed. Just calculate the savings yourself. Some competitors cannot even achieve an 11mm Top Margin. Retailers should check this very carefully when comparing competitive POS printers.
-
80 – 58mm Auto Reduction without changing original POS Software
The TSP100 ECO can automatically reduce receipts from an 80mm wide format to 58mm without changing the customer’s original software set-up. Simply tick the required paper reduction in the TSP100ECO futurePRNT software and you can choose whether to reduce the receipt vertically to 50% or horizontally to 72.5% or both.
-
Receipts On Demand Printing
Once again Star has used the clever futurePRNT software to produce an Operator Prompt to ask the customer  whether they need a receipt or not. The receipt can then be either cancelled or printed, perfect for low cost, consumable items such as newspapers, fast food etc. as the receipts are often left behind. All cancelled receipts can be saved graphically and be reviewed or reprinted. (Note: Not all countries will allow this feature so the software may be modified on a regional basis).
