SALE - Star Micronics SP742 Dot Matrix Kitchen Printer(Open-Box, Repaired By Star Micronics)

The Star Micronics SP742 is a robust, high-speed dot matrix printer specifically engineered for demanding hospitality environments. Unlike thermal printers, the SP742 uses an impact ribbon, making it the industry standard for commercial kitchens where heat and humidity would otherwise cause thermal paper to blacken. With its ability to produce two-colour (red and black) output, it is ideal for highlighting special order requirements or "no-go" ingredients on kitchen dockets.

Requires UK PSU. PS60A.

POS Software Compatibility & Verification

The SP742 is the "gold standard" for kitchen printing across major UK platforms.

• Shopify POS: Fully compatible for kitchen ticket printing via Shopify POS.

• Lightspeed Restaurant: Extensively used as a primary kitchen printer for Lightspeed.

• Square for Restaurants: Supported for back-of-house order routing via Square.

Double-check before purchasing: Impact printers require specific communication protocols. Please ensure your POS software explicitly supports "Kitchen Printing" or "Remote Printing" for the Star SP700 series. Additionally, check if your software requires the Ethernet (LAN) or Bluetooth version, as these are not interchangeable.
