Welcome to the Star Software Update, the regular series of blog updates where Star’s Integration Team informs you about the latest important Star Micronics software updates.

In this edition:

  • Peripheral Usage for mC-Print2 and mC-Print3 (WebPRNT)
  • Scale Data Output Utility

Read on to learn what each update entails.

Peripheral Usage for mC-Print2 and mC-Print3 (WebPRNT)

Release Date:

This update was released on October 2, 2019.

What’s Included?

WebPRNT Browser has been updated to support the mC-Print2 and mC-Print3 when using a USB connection. Now you can use Bluetooth or USB!

In addition, both printers can now use their peripherals with WebPRNT and WebPRNT Browser. Now customers have the flexibility to choose a wired or a wireless connection when using the mC-Print Series with WebPRNT. Peripheral support includes Star’s 1D and 2D barcode scanners, as well as the customer line display.

Scanners are often used in point of sale (POS), while line displays are more commonly used in grocery, as well as self-service. A good example of this is a frozen yogurt shop displaying the price and weight for the customer at checkout.

Next Steps

Customers wanting to use the mC-Print Series with a USB connection should update the WebPRNT Browser app through the Google Play Store.

To use the peripherals, please update the printer’s firmware to V2.1. Firmware can be updated through Stars mC-Print Utility, also available on the Google Play Store.

Scale Data Output UtilityScale-Data-Output-Utility

Release Date:

The tool was released on September 30, 2019.

What’s Included?

The scale data output utility is a tool for Windows customers and developers alike to easily read scale input without complicated software. This is the first release, so the version number is 1.0.

For software that do not directly integrate with a scale, this tool can be used to read the weight and copy it directly into a text box into the POS software.

Potential industries that can take advantage of this update include cannabis, frozen yogurt, jewelry, deli, candy shop, bulk fruits/nuts in a grocery store, and more.

Next Steps

No firmware update is needed. To download the tool, please visit the Star Global Support Site.
