Star Micronics TSP143IV X4 Printer
The Star Micronics TSP143IV X4 is the latest addition to the TSP100 series and continues to raise the bar in point-of-sale printing. Designed with flexibility, speed, and connectivity options in mind, the TSP143IV X4 is a new iteration of the TSP143IV that replaces a single dedicated interface with multiple interfaces, similar to the popular MC-Print3 . This allows more flexibility when pairing the printer with different tablets, PCs, or iPads, and provides broader compatibility when choosing a point-of-sale or ordering app. It is an excellent choice for retail, hospitality, and online ordering environments where seamless, reliable printing is essential.
Receipt and Sticky Paper Models Available
TSP100IV X4 Receipt Printer - Standard thermal receipt printing for everyday retail and hospitality use.
TSP100IV X4 SK Receipt Printer - Prints on repositionable sticky paper, perfect for kitchens, order labeling, or customer-facing notes.
Four Interfaces in One Printer
What sets the TSP143IV X4 apart from its predecessors is its all-in-one interface design, supporting USB, Ethernet (LAN), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. This makes it easy to use the printer in various setups, whether it's connected directly to a terminal, used in a networked environment, or paired wirelessly with a mobile device.
It’s also compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows operating systems, making it a versatile option for businesses using tablets, smartphones, or desktop PCs. It is the ideal printer for retail, hospitality, and online ordering setups. When using Android or iOS, please note that the TSP143IV (or TSP100IV) must also be listed as compatible with your specific app.
Space-Saving and Compact
Another standout feature of the TSP143IV is its 20% smaller footprint compared to the previous model, the TSP100III. Its compact design helps reduce clutter and free up valuable counter space—ideal for small countertops or mobile setups.
