Star Micronics USB Impact Dot Matrix Receipt Printer - SP700

Designed specifically for demanding kitchen, hospitality, and high-heat retail environments, the Star Micronics SP700 Series (SP712) is built to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, and grease where standard thermal printers fail. This heavy-duty, 9-pin impact dot matrix printer uses a physical ink ribbon to stamp crisp, smudge-proof receipts and order tickets that won't discolor or fade under pressure.

Featuring a factory-installed USB-B interface and a built-in internal universal power supply (no massive external brick taking up precious counter space), the SP712 delivers ultimate reliability right out of the box.

Product Features:

Built for the Heat: Unlike thermal printers whose paper darkens and turns black near heat sources, the SP712’s ribbon-ink printheads produce highly legible text that is entirely heat-resistant—making it the industry-standard choice for hot kitchen environments.
No Bulky Power Brick: Features a direct onboard universal power supply with a standard 3-prong AC outlet plug. Say goodbye under-counter clutter and loose power adapters.
Drop-In & Print Paper Loading: Utilizing a convenient clamshell cover design, paper rolls can be replaced in seconds flat. Just open the cover, drop the roll in, close it, and print.
Two-Color Printing Support: Seamlessly handles multi-part forms and highlights modifications or special instructions in red when paired with a black/red RC700BR ribbon.
Carbon-Copy Capable: Built to handle original receipts plus up to two carbon-copy duplicates, ensuring seamless back-of-house ticket routing.
