The SP500 Application Guide

Complete Solution

To round out any multiple printer installation,

the SP500 is a terrific complement to the

features and performance of Star’s TSP family

of thermal printers. In hospitality applications,

a TSP700 would be ideal on the front end

handling transactions, to take advantage of

not only its speed, but it’s nearly silent operation.

For point of sale, the SP512 is the perfect

complement to the TSP613 tear bar thermal

printer. These same customers will also

employ an SP500 series printer in the back

of house for less time-sensitive print jobs and

those applications requiring archives or journals

to be printed. Simple, easy to use and cost-

effective, the SP500 series offers a perfect

solution to many applications.

Introduction

Star Micronics is widely respected for its

highly reliable dot matrix and thermal POS

and hospitality printers. Building on this

legacy, Star is pleased to announce the

release of the SP500 series. The SP500

sets a new standard for design, features

and performance in dot matrix printers.

The SP500 series features tear bar and auto

cutter models available in putty and charcoal

colors. The printer comes standard with serial

or parallel interfaces and uses a universal

internal power supply that reduces clutter

and maintains a small footprint. In applications

requiring a journal copy, a paper rewind

version is available for both models.

With ultra-fast print speeds of over 4 lines

per second (lps), the SP500 outperforms all

competitors in its class. The SP500 achieves

optimal print speed by utilizing Star’s new

logic-seeking print mechanism and high

speed 9-pin print head making text, graphics,

and modifiers print at amazing speeds.

The intention of the SP500

Application Guide is to

illustrate which features of

the SP500 series printers

make them a fitting solution

for specific applications.

Vertical Markets

The SP500 is among the smallest full-featured

printers in its class. Add the optional vertical

stand kit, and it’s footprint instantly shrinks

by nearly half. With the optional wall

mount kit, the SP500 literally has NO foot-

print. These options allow for easy integration

to any Point of Sale application, regardless

of the available counter space.

The outstanding throughput of the SP500

series is made possible by our new faster

print head and our efficient logic-seeking

print mechanism. These features greatly

reduce time wasted waiting for receipts to

finish printing.

The SP500 also offers the ability to print on

carbonless multiple-copy paper (original +

2-copies), allowing for instant printing of

duplicate and triplicate receipts for distribution

to the customer, to record keeping or directly

to the till.

The high reliability of the SP500 is sure to

provide years of trouble-free service in high

demand applications such as point of sale.

Kitchen

•Fast Throughput

•Autocutter & Tear Bar Models

•Single-Color Highlight

•Splash-Proof Design

•High Reliability

•Recessed Cable Connections

•Star & ESC/POS Emulation

The splash-proof design of the SP500’s

outer case protects it from the harsh environ-

ments found in many restaurant kitchens.

The upper cover incorporates a “rain-channel”

molded into its base. The hinged top cover

shelters the vital internal electronics of the

SP500.

The single-color highlight option of the

SP500 series ensures that modifiers are

easily identified by busy cooks. The multiple

copy paper compatibility allows for one

order to be distributed to the many different

work stations of a busy kitchen.

The available autocutter model (SP542) is

well-suited for busy kitchens where receipts

tend to stack up during peak hours. When

the user is ready to remove the receipt, a

simple tug will separate the receipt easily

and cleanly.

Recessed cable connections keep cables

securely connected and free of accidental

disconnection. They also keep these connections

cleared of food and other debris, ensuring

trouble-free operation.

Additionally, dot matrix printed receipts

offer a higher durability and resistance to

liquids and high heat often associated with

kitchen applications. Dot matrix receipts

have proven more reliable in these harsh

environments than those receipts printed by

either thermal or inkjet printers.

Receipts printed on dot matrix printers are

not as susceptible to the heat of a kitchen

as a thermal printer. Also, they are highly

resistant to smudging by wet hands unlike

inkjet printed receipts.

In a fast-paced restaurant, there is no time

to waste waiting for guest checks and

orders to print. The advanced technology

employed in Star’s new Logic-Seeking print

mechanism ensures the highest speed printing

while maintaining our legendary reliability.

The SP500 also offers the ability to print on

carbonless multiple-copy paper (original +

2-copies), allowing for instant printing of

duplicate and triplicate receipts for distribution

to different stations within the restaurant.

The optional vertical and wall mount kits

allow for versatile placement of the printer,

eliminating clutter in important service

areas.

The Splash-proof design of the SP500’s

housing is well-suited to the harsh environ-

ments found in most restaurants.

The internal universal power supply of the

SP500 series ensures a simple installation

without the mess of an external power supply.

Star Authorized Consumables

The SP500 is the perfect complement to

any retail Point of Sale system. Combining

low cost of ownership with high-performance

and useful features; the SP500 offers

exceptional reliability and functionality in a

compact and affordable package.

The small footprint of the SP500 series

means it will take up less valuable space at

the retail station. Recessed cable connections

reduce the possibility of tampering, keep

the installation neat and clutter-free, plus

minimize the effort and time required to

install each printer.

Star and ESC/POS emulation ensure easy

integration with existing systems, while

maintaining the performance and reliability

expected from Star printing solutions.

The SP500 contains the build quality for

which Star is known. This translates into

exceptional reliability and a printing solution

that will provide years of trouble-free service.

•Macro Store Capable

Data terminal applications such as data

loggers and service reports from simple

machines often require a printer with the

ability to spool the printed results.

The rewinder version for the SP500 series

fits this application perfectly. This version

affords the ability to automatically spool the

printed paper into a conveniently storable

roll. The multiple copy functionality allows

for the distribution of one copy while keeping

the second spooled internally.

This allows for a long history to be stored

on the internal spool while daily summaries

can be removed and reviewed instantly.

Additionally, the small footprint of the

SP500 printer allows for easy mounting

and storage of the unit in these often space-

restricted applications.

The macro store capability of the SP500

series printing solutions allows for larger or

modified characters to be printed without

the need for modification of the data terminal

or its software.

Using its black mark sensor to ensure precise

alignment of every ticket, the SP500 can

produce flawless admission tickets, parking

stubs and many other pre-printed documents,

forms and tickets.

The tear bar model of the SP500 series,

(SP512), offers a simple solution for applications

where expensive unnecessary features are

not wanted nor required. The autocutter

model,(SP542), provides the convenience

of more expensive printers while still

maintaining the exceptional value of the

SP500 series.

The high reliability of the SP500 is sure to

provide years of trouble-free service in high

demand applications such as high volume

ticket printing.

The high printing speed of over 4 lines per

second translates to faster printing of tickets,

virtually eliminating time wasted waiting for

tickets to print.

Security can be added to admission tickets

through the use of the graphics printing

ability of the SP500 series. Adding logos

or graphics can make any ticket instantly

recognizable and difficult to reproduce.

Comparative Analysis

Speed Comparison

Single-Color Highlight

Star SP500 Feature Comparison

vs Epson TM-U200

Feature: Print Speed

Thanks to efficient logic seeking design, Star out

performs the TM-U200 whether printing a full 42

columns or only a few characters on each line.

Feature: Foot Print

The Star SP500 series has a smaller footprint

than the TM-U200. In addition this small foot-

print includes the internal universal power supply,

eliminating the cable mess typically associated with

an external power supply like the Epson printer

has.

Feature: Tear Bar, Cutter

and Rewinder Combinations

The Star SP500 allows a rewinder to be

installed on both tear bar and auto cutter models.

There is not an option to add a rewinder to a

tear bar equipped TM-U200.

Feature: Single Color Highlight

The SP500 utilizes cost effective single-color

highlight printing. The Epson TM-U200 series utilizes

two-color printing. Two-color printing requires the

use of a more expensive and shorter life ribbon

cassette, and also increases the amount of nec-

essary moving parts in the printer, resulting in

more service calls.
