Star SP700 Impact Receipt Printer
The Star SP700 is a 25-pin serial impact dot matrix receipt printer built for kitchen and point-of-sale environments where heat and humidity rule out thermal paper. It prints at 4.7 lines per second and produces 13 receipts per minute using a tear-bar cutter. The gray desktop unit ships new with an internal power supply and Ethernet interface.
Clamshell Loading and Driver Setup
Paper loads through a clamshell mechanism that opens wide for drop-in roll placement, supporting 76 mm standard width or 69.5 mm and 58 mm with the adjustable guide. Windows drivers cover 8.1, 7, Vista, XP and Server 2008 in both 32- and 64-bit editions, plus Mac OS X and Linux; the CD includes JavaPOS, OPOS and Ethernet setup utilities. No USB cable is included, so a network drop must be available at the install site.
Verify Power and Paper Before Ordering
Confirm the venue can supply 110 to 230 VAC to the internal PSU and that the roll diameter does not exceed 85 mm. The printer operates from 0 to 50 °C at up to 90 % RH without condensation, so ensure the mounting location meets those ranges. If the application requires two-colour output or a buzzer alarm, check that the driver settings expose those options for your POS software.
