Star Micronics SP742ME Impact Kitchen Receipt Printer - Gray - 39336532

Built explicitly to withstand the punishing demands of busy restaurant environments, the Star Micronics SP742ME (Part #39336532) is the industry-standard choice for back-of-house operations. Unlike traditional thermal printers, which utilize heat-sensitive paper that turns entirely black when exposed to intense kitchen environments, this impact dot-matrix printer relies on a ribbon mechanism. This ensures your multi-part order tickets remain perfectly crisp, legible, and heat-resistant—no matter how hot or humid the line gets.

This specific configuration features reliable Ethernet (LAN) connectivity for seamless network routing, a built-in JamFree Auto-Cutter, and an embedded internal power supply to eliminate messy power bricks and optimize precious counter space.

Product Features:

Built for Heat & Humidity: The ideal ticket-printing solution for hot, humid commercial kitchens where thermal printing fails.
Two-Color Printing Capability: Supports black and red impact ribbons (like the Star RC700BR), allowing you to automatically highlight ticket modifiers, special requests, or allergy alerts.
High-Performance Speed: Delivers lightning-fast throughput of 4.7 lines per second (equivalent to roughly 13 tickets per minute) to keep your kitchen flowing smoothly.
Multi-Part Form Support: Heavy-duty dot matrix printhead handles carbonless copy ticket stock, effortlessly producing an original ticket plus up to 2 exact copies.
“Drop-In & Print” Clamshell Design: Minimizes downtime during peak dinner rushes with an incredibly fast, effortless roll-paper and ribbon loading design.
Space-Saving & Spill-Proof Architecture: Features an embedded internal power supply, a recessed cable protection cavity, a spill-proof protective housing cover, and optional vertical/wall mounting capabilities.
