Key Features

SteadyLAN™ Technology

Designed specifically for iPad-based POS systems, SteadyLAN™ solves the problem of unreliable WiFi in busy venues. By connecting your iPad to the printer via a standard USB cable, the printer shares its hardwired Ethernet connection with the tablet. This provides both stable data and charging simultaneously, ensuring your terminal is always online and powered.

Integrated Connectivity Hub

The MCP21LB acts as a central hub for your point-of-sale hardware. It features two USB host interfaces, allowing you to plug in peripherals such as a Star 1D/2D barcode scanner or a customer display. This allows you to control your entire checkout setup through a single printer connection.

Cloud-Ready & Omnichannel

With Star CloudPRNT™ built-in, the mC-Print2 can print orders directly from your online web server or ordering platform. This makes it an ideal choice for "Click and Collect" services and online takeaway platforms where speed and reliability are paramount.
