By: POSGuys - 5/9/2017
What are the differences between the Star Micronics TSP100 and the TSP100 ECO? Or the TSP650II and TSP100III?

This post will go over the differences between Star Micronics receipt printers and help you figure out which receipt printer is right for your business. The primary differences between these printers are their print speed and interface op...

The EPSON TM-M10 is a smaller version of the EPSON TM-M30 with the ability to print on the more compact 2" wide receipt paper. Overall the printer takes up less room then it's bigger brother and also prints smaller receipts. Configuring the printer may require some small adjustments in your software settings.

Cash Register Express Receipt Logo Template
By: POSGuys - 3/13/2017
To prevent the logo from stretching on your Cash Register Express receipt, use this layered PDF template or edit this flat PNG. Samples of where the template displays on the receipt are shown below. Failing to use a logo that is cropped to the correct proportions will result in stretching as shown in the image below. The template is based on a ratio of 1:3. So as an example an image cropped to 100px x 300px should properly display. Use a higher resolution for a sharper quality logo. The samples provided above were printed on the Epson TM-T88V receipt printer using CRE. If you have a quest...
Star Micronics to Epson - Emulation Setup
By: Chad - 3/7/2017
How do I put my Star Micronics TSP100 into ESC/POS (Epson Emulation) mode? Some specific softwares require that the printer communicates in ESC/POS mode, which is an Epson printer language that enhances and streamlines printing. However, that does not necessarily mean that an Epson printer will be needed. This is where Epson emulation comes into play. 1) Install the futurePRNT Configuration Utility (usually installed when the device driver is installed). Once installed, open the configuration utility, located in All Programs under the Start Menu. 2) As soon as the Configuration Utili...

Major Increase In Zebra Long Range Scanning
By: POSGuys - 2/27/2017
Zebra's new DS3678 extended-range, ultra-rugged industrial scanner builds on the former Zebra (Symbol) DS3578 extended range industrial scanner by dramatically increasing the scan range. Not only can the DS3678-ER scan from 70 feet away (and we tested the scan range at over 100 feet), but it can scan from as close as a foot away, much closer than the DS3578-ER. See our comparison video below:
