Supported Printers
ReceiptKit works with Star Micronics thermal and impact receipt printers via the StarPRNT command protocol.
Connection Types
Ethernet (Recommended)
Connect your printer to the same local network as your Receipt Bridge PC. Printers are automatically discovered via mDNS and communicate over TCP port 9100. Most reliable connection method.
USB
Connect the printer directly to the PC running Receipt Bridge via USB cable. The bridge detects USB-connected Star printers automatically.
Supported Models
Any Star Micronics printer that supports the StarPRNT / Star Line Mode command set should work with ReceiptKit. The following models are tested and confirmed:
TSP100 Series
80mm (3")Most popular model. Recommended for most use cases.
mC-Print3 Series
80mm (3")Modern design with front-exit paper path. Multiple interface options.
mC-Print2 Series
58mm (2")Compact 58mm printer for space-constrained environments.
TSP650II Series
80mm (3")High-reliability model for high-volume environments.
SP700 Series
76mm (3")Impact (dot-matrix) printer for kitchen/order tickets. Tear-bar model.
Paper Widths
Receipt Bridge automatically detects your printer's native paper width and renders templates at the correct resolution. You can also override the raster width in the API if needed.
| Paper Size | Print Width (dots) | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| 80mm (3") | 576 dots (203 dpi) | Standard receipts, restaurant checks, retail |
| 58mm (2") | 384 dots (203 dpi) | Compact receipts, mobile POS |
| 76mm (3") | 496 dots (203 dpi) | Kitchen order tickets (impact printers) |
Network Setup Tips
- 1.Same subnet required — The printer and the PC running Receipt Bridge must be on the same local network subnet for mDNS discovery to work.
- 2.Static IP recommended — Assign a static IP address to your printer via its configuration utility or your router's DHCP reservation. This prevents the printer's IP from changing after a power cycle.
- 3.Firewall — Ensure TCP port 9100 is not blocked by your firewall between the bridge PC and the printer.
- 4.Multiple printers — Receipt Bridge supports multiple printers simultaneously. Each printer is identified by its MAC address and can be targeted independently in print requests.
Don't see your printer model?
ReceiptKit uses the StarPRNT / Star Line Mode command protocol, which is supported by most Star Micronics receipt printers manufactured in the last 10 years. If your printer supports Star Line Mode, it will likely work. Contact us if you need help with a specific model. We're also planning support for additional printer brands (Epson, BIXOLON) in the future.
