March 9, 2009–Star Micronics is proud to introduce the new TUP500 kiosk printer. With a compact footprint and support for small paper widths, the TUP500 is a welcomed addition to Star’s kiosk printer line, providing solutions to an even larger range of kiosk applications.

The TUP500 features an industry leading print speed of up to 220mm/sec and a high reliability at an MCBF of 60 Million Lines.

The innovative looping presenter prevents paper jams by printing the receipt in full before providing it to the user. The presenter also uses Star’s document capture technology to retract receipts left by the user, resulting in increased document security and a cleaner operation area.
