Star Micronics offers connectivity solution for cabled LAN connection for POS

Star Micronics has introduced its SteadyLAN, a POS connectivity solution that provides the stability of a cabled LAN connection for iPad POS systems via the standard Apple Lightning cable to ensure continuous network access.

The SteadyLAN solution offers reliable connectivity with iOS devices and is designed for locations where Wi-Fi connectivity is not possible or unreliable. It provides direct cabled control of the printer and attached peripherals as well as Ethernet provision to the iPad from the wired Ethernet port of the printer.

By connecting the iPad to the Star mC-Print printer (mCP21LB, mCP31L or mCP31LB) via the standard Apple Lightning cable or USB-C for iPad Pro, and connecting the printer to the Internet via a wired LAN connection, the iPad is able to connect to the Internet without Wi-Fi communication. Furthermore, the iPad can communicate with the printer via the Lightning cable and the printer will also charge the iPad.

The mC-Print series features 58mm and 80mm print-width models, offering the functionality of up to five hardware and software interfaces, including cloud technologies able to control select USB connected peripherals from multiple wired or wireless devices.
