Star Micronics is proud to release StarIO. StarIO is an API (Application Programming Interface) designed to sit between your application and Star Micronics printer, providing a simple solution for directly communicating to and obtaining status from the printer. StarIO allows the software developer to have full control over application development and will result in increased end-user satisfaction manifest in higher-quality applications developed more rapidly. StarIO also provides full interface flexibility, allowing a single application to communicate with USB, serial, parallel, or ethernet printers.

The file attached to this FAQ is Java sample code using StarIO demonstrating how to send a sample receipt to and receive status from a Star Micronics printer.

This sample code suffices for these Star Micronics printer models:
FVP10, HSP7000, TSP650, TSP700II, TSP800II, TSP800Rx, TSP828, TSP1000, TUP500, TUP900

Supported Interfaces: Serial, Parallel, USB, Ethernet
