Cloud receipt printing on the Star TSP100IV
Print receipts, kitchen tickets, and packing slips on the Star TSP100IV from WooCommerce, a webhook, or your own app. StarPRNT over Ethernet or USB, no drivers, and live printer status in your dashboard.
Star TSP100IV compatibility
The Star TSP100IV is the current TSP100 generation and, despite the name, a StarPRNT printer rather than a raster-only one. The SK variant prints on linerless sticky paper for kitchen and delivery labels. It offers USB and Ethernet, with Wi-Fi on some models.
Typical use: new installs replacing older TSP100 printers, and sticky-label kitchen tickets on the SK model.

Expected, not yet lab-tested
We have not had a Star TSP100IV in our lab. It uses the same StarPRNT command language we validated end-to-end on the Star mC-Print3, 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 StarPRNT data straight to the Star TSP100IV, so prints are sub-second even with logos and barcodes.
Do you need a driver for the Star TSP100IV?
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? |
|---|---|
| Any platform over Ethernet / Wi-Fi | None |
| Raspberry Pi over USB | None |
| Windows over USB | None |
| macOS over USB | None (beta; USB on macOS is still being validated in the field) |
Connect the Star TSP100IV 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.Connect the Star TSP100IV over Ethernet or Wi-Fi
Give the printer a network connection on the same subnet as the bridge. The bridge scans for it by its network address and reads the model name from the printer. If it is not found automatically, add it by IP address; the bridge prints over raw TCP on port 9100.
3.Or plug the Star TSP100IV 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.
4.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 StarPRNT command language and paper width from the model name automatically.

Star TSP100IV quirks and notes
- •Unlike earlier TSP100 generations, the TSP100IV speaks StarPRNT. The bridge resolves it to the StarPRNT dialect from the model name, so it gets full status reporting.
- •Not yet tested in our lab; it shares the StarPRNT dialect validated on the mC-Print3.
What can print to the Star TSP100IV
Common questions
Does ReceiptKit work with the Star TSP100IV?
Yes, it is expected to. The Star TSP100IV uses the StarPRNT command language that we validated end-to-end on the Star mC-Print3. We have not had a Star TSP100IV in our lab yet, so we label it "expected" rather than "tested".
Do I need to install a driver for the Star TSP100IV?
No. The bridge writes StarPRNT 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 TSP100IV 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 Ethernet the bridge discovers the Star TSP100IV automatically by its network address, or you can add it by IP. 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 TSP100IV?
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 TSP100IV 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 TSP100IV?
Full Star ASB status (cover open, paper out, errors) over both USB and Ethernet.
Can the Star TSP100IV open a cash drawer through ReceiptKit?
Cash drawer kick command sent immediately on the RJ11 port (StarPRNT ESC BEL). Command path verified; physical actuation not yet confirmed in our lab.
What paper width does the Star TSP100IV 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.
