Cloud receipt printing on the Star TSP100
Print receipts, kitchen tickets, and packing slips on the Star TSP100 from WooCommerce, a webhook, or your own app. Star Raster (futurePRNT) over USB, no drivers, and live printer status in your dashboard.
Star TSP100 compatibility
The original Star TSP100 futurePRNT (TSP143, TSP113, TSP143GT) is the first-generation raster receipt printer that started the TSP100 line. Many are still in service. It uses the same Star Raster protocol as the TSP100II and TSP100III that we test against.
Typical use: older POS installs at retail counters that still run first-generation TSP100 hardware.

Expected, not yet lab-tested
We have not had a Star TSP100 in our lab. It uses the same Star Raster (futurePRNT) command language we validated end-to-end on the Star TSP100II, so we expect it to work. If you run one, tell us and we will move it to tested.
Cloud coordination, local printing
ReceiptKit sends a few hundred bytes of order data to a bridge on the printer's network. The bridge renders the receipt and writes Star Raster (futurePRNT) data straight to the Star TSP100, so prints are sub-second even with logos and barcodes.
Do you need a driver for the Star TSP100?
No. The bridge writes to the printer directly over TCP or raw USB, without the operating system print spooler or a vendor driver, on every platform.
| Platform · connection | Driver install needed? |
|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi over USB | None |
| Windows over USB | None required; validated with Star's futurePRNT driver installed |
| macOS over USB | None (beta; USB on macOS is still being validated in the field) |
Connect the Star TSP100 in three steps
1.Install the free bridge next to the printer
Download the ReceiptKit bridge for Windows or macOS, or flash the Raspberry Pi image. It runs on any machine on the printer's network, or the one it is plugged into. PC setup · Raspberry Pi setup
2.Or plug the Star TSP100 in over USB
Connect the printer to the bridge machine with a USB cable. It appears in the bridge as soon as it is plugged in.
3.Claim it and print a test receipt
Claim the printer in the bridge so it appears in your ReceiptKit dashboard, then send a test print. The bridge selects the Star Raster (futurePRNT) command language and paper width from the model name automatically.
Live printer status and cash drawer
Live status
Cover and paper status from the printer's auto-transmitted ASB frames over USB and Ethernet. The raster family has no status request command, so a quiet connection can show presence-only until the printer volunteers a frame.
Cash drawer
Cash drawer kick via the raster job setting (ESC *rD1). Command path from Star's own driver; physical actuation not yet confirmed in our lab.
Star TSP100 quirks and notes
- •USB only on most units. Connect it to the computer or Raspberry Pi running the bridge.
- •Not tested in our lab; it shares the Star Raster dialect validated on the TSP143ECO and TSP143IIILAN.

Common questions
Does ReceiptKit work with the Star TSP100?
Yes, it is expected to. The Star TSP100 uses the Star Raster (futurePRNT) command language that we validated end-to-end on the Star TSP100II. We have not had a Star TSP100 in our lab yet, so we label it "expected" rather than "tested".
Do I need to install a driver for the Star TSP100?
No. The bridge writes Star Raster (futurePRNT) data straight to the printer over TCP or raw USB, without the operating system print spooler or a vendor driver, on Windows, macOS, and Raspberry Pi.
How do I connect the Star TSP100 to ReceiptKit?
Install the free ReceiptKit bridge on a Windows PC, Mac, or Raspberry Pi on the same network as the printer, or plugged into it over USB. Over USB it appears as soon as it is plugged in. Claim it in the bridge, and it shows up in your ReceiptKit dashboard ready to print.
Can I print WooCommerce orders on the Star TSP100?
Yes. Install the free ReceiptKit for WooCommerce plugin from WordPress.org, connect it to your ReceiptKit account, and add a print rule. New orders and refunds then print automatically on the Star TSP100 as receipts, kitchen tickets, or packing slips using templates you design visually. Orderable and other WooCommerce ordering plugins are supported too.
Does ReceiptKit show live status for the Star TSP100?
Cover and paper status from the printer's auto-transmitted ASB frames over USB and Ethernet. The raster family has no status request command, so a quiet connection can show presence-only until the printer volunteers a frame.
Can the Star TSP100 open a cash drawer through ReceiptKit?
Cash drawer kick via the raster job setting (ESC *rD1). Command path from Star's own driver; physical actuation not yet confirmed in our lab.
What paper width does the Star TSP100 use with ReceiptKit?
80 mm paper at 576 dots across. The bridge sets the width automatically from the model name, and you can override it per printer if a receipt comes out clipped.
