- The TSP800 Thermal
Printer Eases the Pain in the
Prescription Writing & Reading Process -
Edison, NJ (June 2004) -
Star Micronics America, Inc., announced today the release
of its prescription printer to automate the prescription
writing/reading process for both doctors’ offices
and pharmacies.
Star is one of the first printer manufacturers to
answer the call from the Medical and Pharmaceutical
Industries to automate the prescription process and
make it more efficient. Star Micronics has a dual solution
to print thermal prescriptions using its TSP800 thermal
printer. The TSP800 printer enables doctors to print
thermal prescriptions versus handwritten prescriptions
from a pad avoiding legibility errors. Utilizing specialized
and secured thermal prescription paper, the prescriptions
are printed using the latest medical technology software
on the market, resulting in a secured legible script
in seconds.
“Opportunities for Star’s TSP800 thermal
printer are endless. Medical offices and pharmacies
are among the latest industries to realize the fit
this compact printer provides in helping make daily
office tasks more efficient – especially the
prescription writing process,” said Michael Hanson,
vice president, sales and marketing, Star Micronics
America, Inc. “Combining the TSP800 with certified
medical software solutions, enables healthcare professionals
to spend more time treating patients and less time
completing paper work.”
Local pharmacies will have the opportunity to use
the TSP800 for dual purposes. First, for pharmacies
that electronically receive prescriptions at the pharmacy
counter, the pharmacy will be able to provide a printed
record of the electronic prescription in the exact
format a handwritten prescription would be personally
received. Second, the TSP800 can also be used as a
standard point of sale (POS) printer for retail transactions.
The TSP800 is the only printer on the market that
provides printing on 3” to 4.25” wide paper
at the speed of 150mm/second. The TSP800 is a wide-format,
two color ultra high speed, easy load thermal printer.
Its compact footprint is ideal for offices and pharmacies
with limited counter space. The TSP800 features efficient “drop
and load” paper loading and does not require
a ribbon, making paper roll replacement simple. Standard
interfaces for the printer include: serial, parallel,
USB and Ethernet.
Star Micronics' TSP800 has been certified as compatible
with Dr. Notes' clinical management systems software
and by Micro Format, manufacturer of secured prescription
pads and paper rolls. For more information on these
medical IT companies, visit www.drnotes.com and www.prescriptionpaper.com/star.html.
Star Micronics will be displaying the TSP800 at the
Medical Design and Device Show (MD&M) at the Jacob
Javits Center in New York, June 15-17, 2004 in booth
#2162. For more information on the TSP800 for prescription
solutions visit this

Star Micronics
TSP800 High Speed Thermal Printer
Compatible with Dr. Notes EMR Software |
|
| |
|
|
| |
- TSP800/Dr.Notes
Solution Can Help Healthcare Providers Improve Practice
Efficiency and Better Care for Patients -
Edison, NJ (June 2004) -
Star Micronics America announces that its TSP800 series
of thermal printers is compatible with Dr. Note’s
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software. The TSP800/Dr.
Notes solution can help medical practices be more efficient,
keep better patient records, and ensure healthcare
providers are in compliance with CMS Evaluation and
Management Levels as well as HIPAA Federal Regulations.
Dr. Notes is a unique Windows–based product
designed for physicians, by physicians. The Dr. Notes
program is not only an electronic medical record, it
is a clinical management tool that measures treatment
outcomes and tracks patients with chronic medical problems
until resolved. Now being used across the country by
thousands of America’s leading physicians and
countless healthcare professionals, Dr. Notes can save
physicians about 6-8 hours per week and increase revenues
by nearly 30%.
“Dr. Notes technology allows healthcare professionals
to focus on their patients, instead of wasting valuable
hours performing administrative duties,” said
Neil Redmond, CIO of Dr. Notes. “Star’s
TSP800 printer complements our technology and has become
an integral factor in allowing physicians to practice
medicine, instead of management.”
The benefits of Dr. Notes can be fully realized with
the TSP800 series. As the only printer that provides
printing on 3” to 4.25” wide paper, the
TSP800 can print full patient records more efficiently
than comparable printers. Another benefit of the TSP800
is its speed, as it can print up to 150 mm/sec. A “Drop-in
and Print” paper loading feature and jam-proof
automatic cutter make the TSP800 simple to operate
for office personnel.
“The TSP800 printer series is extremely practical
in a medical setting, combining its high print speed
and wide format with a very compact footprint,” said
Michael Hanson, vice president sales and marketing
for Star Micronics America. “Most important,
though, its reliability and ease of use allows healthcare
providers to focus on what is most important – patient
health and safety.”

from Syncrhonics as compatible with its management

speed of 150mm/sec. This wider paper width allows up
to 92 characters to be printed on one line. The ease
of use of this printer and its ability to print more

Star
Micronics & POS Direct Combine to
Provide Mac™-based
Solutions for POS Systems
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
- Reseller
Integrating Star TSP600 Printer into Mac-based POS
Business Solutions that Provide Benefits
to Retailers
-
Edison, NJ (April 2004) -
Star Micronics America’s thermal printers are being
used by POS Direct as part of the business solutions
reseller’s Microsoft Retail Management system,
a Mac-based POS solution that is providing retailers
with improved return on investment. POS Direct selected
the TSP600, TSP700 and TSP800 because they are the only
Mac-compatible POS thermal printers, and offers simple
and unique “drop-in and print” paper loading.
POS Direct customizes its Microsoft Retail Management
systems for its customers, which range from martial arts
studios to apple orchards. The TSP family is integrated
with a driver and appropriate application software to
create a POS solution that is more reliable than most
PC-based POS systems. The TSP’s swappable interface
and Mac OSX driver compatibility made it the best choice
for POS Direct’s systems.
“The TSP600 printer is ideal for businesses using
Mac POS technology because it is the only printer that
can affordably combine printing functions, such as receipts,
reports, logos and even bar codes, on a POS solution
utilizing a Mac operating system,” said Mike Hanson,
vice president of sales and marketing for Star Micronics
America. “POS Direct is somewhat unique in its
development of Mac-based solutions in a traditionally
PC-dominated market and we are happy to be able to be
a part of a viable solution.”
Employing the TSP600 within an application is quick and
easy. All the user has to do is select either the Star
or ESC/POS command mode. This uncomplicated solution
enables Mac-based POS retail businesses to operate retail
transactions efficiently.
“
The TSP600 is the perfect blend of functionality and
affordability,” said POS Direct’s Tracey
Hanson, “By combining its ease of use with its
low cost, it truly is the first thermal printer of its
kind to offer so many applications to the customer.”
The TSP600 is a high-speed thermal printer with two-color
printing support, drop-in and print paper loading, LogoStore
for internal graphics and coupon storing capability,
recessed cable connectors, and either a tear bar or automatic
cutter. In addition to the Mac OSX driver, the TSP600
has drivers for Windows 9x, 200, XP, Linux, OPOS, and
JPOS. Star has been able to design all these features
into a compact printer with a footprint of only 142Wx199Dx131H
(mm), so the TSP600 occupies little counter space.
Adding Star Micronics printers into POS solutions affords
businesses the advantage of using the latest automated
technologies. Fully unmanned POS terminals can perform
customer transactions, while tracking a customer order,
processing credit card transactions, and even managing
a store’s inventory. Most important, they are time
efficient, with a user-friendly interface for customer
convenience.

Star Micronics TSP800 Printer
Certification by TALtech
Creates Simple, Cost-effective Bar Code Solution
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
- Integration of TALtech’s Popular Bar Code ActiveX Control into
TSP800 Allows Thermal Printers to Serve as Off-the-shelf
Solution in Most Conventional Bar Code Applications
-
Edison, NJ (March 2004)
- Star Micronics America, Inc. announces that its TSP800
series of thermal printers has earned certification
from TALtech, one of the leading providers of bar code
developer’s tools. The certification allows
TALtech’s
popular Bar Code ActiveX Control and Bar Code DLLs
to be integrated into Star Micronics’ TSP800
printers, creating an extremely simple, cost-effective
solution
for printing bar codes in most conventional applications,
including database, packaging design, document
tracking,
postal bar coding, and general labeling.
“Our certification of Star Micronics’ TSP800
printers dispels the widely held misnomer that bar code
solutions are expensive and cumbersome. By using our
popular Bar Code ActiveX and Bar Code DLLs with the
TSP800, any organization can implement a bar code program
all by itself in about a day without breaking the bank,”
said Thomas Lutz, President for TALtech.
Two of the most widely used bar code programs in the
industry, TALtech’s Bar Code ActiveX Control and
Bar Code DLLs create high quality bar codes based upon
Windows? metafile graphics technology, compared to other
technologies that utilize low-quality font or bitmap
technology. They provide complete and precise control
over all bar code dimensions, including narrow bar width,
bar height, narrow to wide bar ratio and magnification
factors. Bar width reduction and gain are also fully
supported for producing pre-press output.
The software programs are a perfect complement to the
TSP800 series, which has wide print width, high resolution,
and high print speed. Featuring 4.4-inch paper that
is nearly 50% larger than conventional printers’
3-inch paper, the TSP800 is ideal for printing bar codes.
Its 150 mm/second print speed allows bar codes to be
printed with maximum efficiently, while its advanced
driver technology and simple printer setup ease operation.
Additionally, the TSP800 has a very small footprint.
Combining these features with the TALtech bar code
software, Star Micronics can now offer an off-the-shelf
bar code solution for any organization. The TSP800 printers
can be used in applications ranging from shelf tags
and warehousing to delivery orders and food service.

development tools and data collection software. For

Star Thermal Printer Technology
Helps CAM Commerce Solutions Meet Evolving Needs of Specialty-Retail
Shop Customers
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Edison, NJ -
CAM Commerce Solutions, the largest supplier of microcomputer-based
inventory management and point of sale (POS) solutions for
small to medium sized specialized retailers, discovered that
its customers were demanding more from their POS printers.
In a fast-paced industry where customer satisfaction, loyalty
and brand awareness are the three keys to profits and longevity,
CAM Commerce relied on M-S Cash Drawer and Star Micronics America
to maintain those keys.
With 20 years in the industry and over 18,000 stores running
CAM Commerce POS solutions, CAM Commerce had experience on
its side. So, when CAM Commerce’s customers wanted additional
features, such as auto logo and gift certificate printing,
plus easy integration to their POS software from their POS
printers, the proven ability of M-S Cash Drawer and Star Micronics
America made the choice easy.
M-S Cash Drawer supplied CAM Commerce with Star Micronics’ TSP700,
an ultra high-speed thermal printer. The TSP700 thermal printer
has a large memory that can store up to seven different barcodes,
as well as multiple logos or coupons. Additionally, the TSP700
has a high print speed of 180 mm/sec. or 60 lines per second
at 3 mm lines. Print resolution is 203 dpi and printer reliability
is 60 million lines. The combination of high speed, resolution,
and memory allows receipts to be printed with logos and bar
codes, plus coupons or rebate certifications, without increasing
customer wait time.
CAM Commerce’s TSP700-based solutions offer end users
output choices previously unavailable from printers, as well
as simple ways to enhance and monitor their entire operation,
including customer loyalty programs. The solution also allows
the retailer to decide when to turn on and off specific features
without reprogramming.
“The TSP700 offers a fast and easy integration with
CAM Commerce’s Retail STAR™ software. It has rapidly
become one of our primary products. We see it aiding our ability
to decrease our sales cycle to the retail shops and improving
their customers’ experience once the solution is in place,” said
Chester Richie, vice president marketing, CAM Commerce Solutions.
With the TSP700, shop owners can now customize receipts with
the TSP700 auto logo printing feature, digitize gift certificates
and coupons which can be seamlessly tied to Retail STAR, CAM’s
customer relationship management software (CRM), and back office
operations. This helps build brand loyalty and awareness by
allowing the customer to have a constant reminder of the company
- other than the product that was purchased - and the company
to have a history of individual customers’ purchasing
trends. Analyzing these trends can bring the retailers unlimited
CRM and marketing potential.
Retail STAR provides a simple, affordable and powerful "end-to-end" inventory
control and commerce solution for traditional as well as Internet
retail businesses. This includes managing inventory, selling
inventory via sales orders or point-of-sale transactions, customer
tracking, an integrated web storefront and accounting.
