Remote Wireless Front-of-House & Bar Receipt Printer Bundle | Star mC-Print3 & Ubiquiti U7 Pro

Wireless EPOS Ethernet Printing Network Bridge Kit

This commercial network and hardware bundle allows you to install an Ethernet thermal receipt printer at a front-of-house greeting station, bar, or barista counter when your main internet router or network switch is located in a different room or floor. By deploying a commercial wireless access point configured to bridge the physical distance over Wi-Fi, this kit removes the need to drill walls, damage interior decor, or run long, permanent network lines through your commercial premises.

Technical Infrastructure Problem Solved by This Bundle

In most cafes, bars, and restaurants across the UK, the central internet router or master network switch is kept out of sight in a back office, downstairs cellar, or communications cabinet. Running a physical Cat6 network cable from that central distribution point to a new bar terminal or front-of-house desk can be structurally impossible, expensive, or visually disruptive.

This bundle bypasses long structural cable runs by establishing a secure, local wireless link across your premises using the following infrastructure layout:

• Establish the wireless link: The Ubiquiti U7 Pro access point is positioned at or near your service counter. It connects wirelessly back to your existing wireless network or central router using its multi-band radio arrays.
• Connect the hardware locally: You plug one end of the 5-metre Ubiquiti patch cable into the base of the Star mC-Print3 printer, and run the other end directly into the Ethernet port on the base of the U7 Pro access point.
• Print customer receipts: When staff complete a transaction on your tablet or POS terminal, the data travels wirelessly through your building to the U7 Pro, which passes it down the short patch cable to print the customer receipt instantly.

Hardware Components & Technical Specifications

Detailed Component Breakdown

1. Star Micronics mC-Print3 Thermal Receipt Printer (Black)

The mC-Print3 is a front-loading, compact direct thermal printer engineered specifically for high-volume hospitality checkouts. By eliminating ink ribbons, the unit prints clean, high-contrast text and barcodes at speeds reaching 400mm per second. To withstand the realities of busy drink preparation counters, it features an IP22 splash-resistant structural chassis. In addition to its physical Ethernet port, the internal mainboard houses integrated USB-C and USB-A charging ports to deliver power straight to auxiliary order tablets or scanner accessories.

2. Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Pro Wi-Fi 7 Access Point

The U7 Pro is an enterprise-tier wireless transceiver operating across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz spectrum bands. In commercial properties filled with staff smartphones, guest networks, and nearby electronic devices, the 6 GHz band keeps your critical print data free from local wireless channel congestion. The base of the unit contains a high-speed 2.5 GbE physical network link port that serves as the bridge outlet, routing incoming wireless transactions straight into the wired printer.

3. Ubiquiti UniFi 5-Metre Cat6 RJ45 Patch Lead (Black)

This ultra-thin, high-performance copper patch cord connects the physical Ethernet links between the access point and the receipt printer. Its highly flexible casing allows for tight-radius bends inside under-counter conduits or along support brackets, maintaining a completely tidy footprint on your service countertop.
