Mac users are often the more sophisticated retailers and small business pioneers; this is a welcome edition. How independent merchants can do loyalty-marketing with receipts is changing in the cloud-connected era of mobile POS.

Can you help with a question I have? If I hook this printer up to my iPad via the Lightning cable, will the iPad see this printer as a "regular printer"? In other words, will I be able to see this printer in my list of available printers if I tried to print (for example) a small document? Or does it only work with POS systems?

[@StarPOSPrinters]

Thanks for your question, yes you would need compatible POS software to be able to print via the Lightning cable.

hi if I use the charging port to connect the printer, how do I charge the iPad at the same time? I guess I could use a usb hub? any recommendations Please thank you

[@StarPOSPrinters]

Hi Mohamed. The beauty of the TSP143IIIU is that it both charges and communicates at the same time through the lightning cable that comes with the iOS device, removing the need for multiple wires! Let us know if you have any more questions.

Where can you buy this?

I can't find a retailer who can confirm if there is a USB port on the printer. Is this a newer version and how can I tell if I'm buying this version
