The POS printer Star Micronics mC-Print2 is a super-compact thermal receipt printer designed for tablet and countertop POS systems. It delivers 203 x 203 DPI print resolution, a print speed of up to 100 mm/sec and supports paper width of 58 mm with a maximum roll diameter of 5 cm. The mC-Print2 offers up to five interfaces, including USB Type-C and Ethernet LAN, along with Star CloudPRNT support and hub functionality to control connected USB peripherals such as a cash drawer, scanner or customer display. The unit is available in white and features an autocutter rated for 2 million cuts.

Advantages

The mC-Print2 combines compact design with versatile connectivity options, including Star’s SteadyLAN™ for stable, cabled-like connections to supported tablets without relying on Wi‑Fi. Its hub functionality lets the printer manage USB peripherals directly, reducing the number of separate connection points. Thermal printing requires no ink and the durable autocutter supports high-volume use. Lightweight construction (0.8 kg) and a small footprint make it suitable for limited counter space.

How to use

Install the mC-Print2 on a stable surface near your POS tablet or terminal. Connect power and choose the appropriate interface (USB Type-C, Ethernet or other supported ports) for your setup. Load thermal paper roll with the paper edge feeding out through the slot and close the cover. Configure the printer in your POS software using Star CloudPRNT or the provided drivers. If using SteadyLAN™, connect a supported tablet to the SteadyLAN-enabled port to supply data and power without Wi‑Fi. Attach and configure any USB peripherals (cash drawer, scanner, customer display) to the printer’s USB hub ports as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use thermal paper within the specified thickness range (0.053–0.075 µm) and keep the print head and cutter free of debris. When deploying with tablets, verify compatibility with SteadyLAN™ and use appropriate cables. Schedule periodic checks of the autocutter to ensure long-term performance.
