High-speed, two-color impact printing for demanding restaurant kitchens.

The Star Micronics SP700 is a compact impact receipt printer built for kitchen orders, tickets, and other environments where heat, humidity, and grease make thermal printing less suitable. Its clamshell design supports fast drop-in paper loading, while an internal power supply helps keep the counter tidy.

Choose tear-bar or autocutter models with serial, parallel, USB, or Ethernet connectivity. User-swappable interface boards make the printer easier to adapt as the POS system changes.
