Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, has announced that their TSP100 is certified to seamlessly integrate with RecTrac software from Vermont Systems Inc.

RecTrac is a Parks and Recreation Management Software that has a global sales single
receipt processing capability, which allows you to process any number of
transactions using any combination of RecTrac modules and produce a single
receipt.

The TSP100 is the first all-in-one receipt printer, which means all the parts and
software are included in one box. Also included for an easy setup is an
internal power supply, interface cable, power cable, complete mounting kits and
a paper roll. The TSP100 offers a high throughput of 22 RPM (receipts per
minute) and “Plug & Play” USB or Ethernet Drivers.

For a printer to become certified with Vermont Systems software, it must be able to
work with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit). There also must be
an easy-to-use methodology for loading logos in to the printer when they are to
be used as receipt headers. Vermont Systems also considers ease of paper
loading and print speed as well as number of standard interface options (USB,
Ethernet, Serial, and Parallel).

“We are thrilled that the TSP100 is now certified by RecTrac Software,” stated
Christophe Naasz, Director of Marketing at Star Micronics. “The TSP100 is a
perfect complement for applications that are ideal for RecTrac.”

Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, will be exhibiting at the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 101^st Annual Convention at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City from January 16^th-17^th.

At booth #2319, Star will display a variety of printing solutions including the FVP-10, a front loading receipt printer and the TSP100ECO, an eco-friendly receipt printer designed to reduce paper usage and decrease power consumption. In addition, Star Micronics will showcase their popular series of portable receipt printers including the SM-S200, SM-S300, the rugged SM-T300 and SM-S400.

Joining Star’s booth at this year’s convention will be ShopKeep.com™ and Square. This isn’t the first time ShopKeep.com™ and Star have teamed up this year, as the TSP100LAN printer joined ShopKeep.com™ at the Telluride Film Festival in September. ShopKeep.com™ allows any retailer or quick service restaurant to manage their entire business, from ringing up sales on their iPad® Register to detailed reporting on inventory, sales and customer relationship management.

Square enables you to accept payment card transactions on a compatible mobile device. Square is available as a free reader and app for the iPhone®, iPad® and Android. They also offer next-day payout and automatic direct deposits to your bank account.

The SM-S200 is a 2 inch mobile printer with a small and light weight design. Ideal for the retail and hospitality industries, the printer easily fastens on a belt for “table-side” order taking and retail “line busting.”

High Meadow Business Solutions recently released RetailEdge Island, their new mobile point of sale software. RetailEdge Island is designed to help business owners who need a mobile POS or want to manage their businesses remotely when they are disconnected from their main system or the Internet. RetailEdge Island automatically synchronizes their data when they are reconnected.

“We are very excited to announce that the SM-S200 printer is now certified by RetailEdge Island Software,” stated Christophe Naasz, Director of Marketing at Star Micronics. “The SM-S200 makes it the perfect complement to RetailEdge Island software enabling retailers to take their business mobile.”
