The TUP500 features an industry-leading print speed of up to 220 mm/sec and high reliability with an MCBF of 60 million lines. The innovative looping presenter in the TUP592 model prevents paper jams by printing the receipt fully before providing it to the user. The presenter also uses Star Micronics’ document capture technology to retract receipts left by the user, resulting in increased document security and a cleaner operation area.
Discover the right Kiosk Printer for your application.
Modular in design and made to print documents ranging in size from 42mm to 82.5mm, the TUP500 kiosk printer is ideal for a wide range of applications including public information kiosks, gaming, lottery, web kiosks, and more.
