Star Micronics EMEA

The World’s 1st Dedicated

ECO POS Printer

Mankind has not always

treated its planet as carefully

as it should and we all know

the future consequences

Mankind needs to change how it

uses energy if the Earth is to survive

We have to reduce CO2 emissions to prevent further

global warming

CO2 is generated from burning Carbon Fuels: principally

Cars, Electricity Production (Coal, Gas or Oil), All Manufacturing

and Heating or Cooling

The Earth has seen the 10 hottest years on record since 1997

CO2 production goes hand in hand with Industrial Growth

2ºC rise in Global warming may result in the

extinction of 20-30% of the World’s species

Source: UK Met Office

Retailers want to help &

need to be seen to be helping,

but have shareholders to

consider after years of

recession

The World is finally taking global

warming very seriously. Many retailers

want to promote their ECO efforts and

“Carbon Footprint” and are now asking for

more and more “Green” information to fit

in with their Environmental policies

The POS market therefore needs a

dedicated ECO printer solution based on all

aspects of use and manufacture including -

Packaging Paper Consumption

Power Management

Costing NO MORE than the

usual non ECO entry-level solution

The ECO Concept from “Start to Finish”

TSP100 ECOwith NEW Industry-leading 4 year limited Warranty

including print head & cutter (Europe, Middle East & South Africa)

Introducing

Yet another innovative solution from Star’s market-leading futurePRNT™ Series

The NEW TSP100 ECO will directly replace the TSP143U at the

same Price by the end of 2010

with all the market-leading innovation of futurePRNT™

…and the ECO Difference

ECO from “Start to Finish”

The TSP100 ECO Difference

Power, Paper, Packaging

Inspired by the cheetah, nature's greatest

exponent of energy efficiency, the TSP100 ECOuses up to 40% less power than most competitors

Directly “power controlled” by the Host PC, the TSP100 ECO will “sleep” when not active, powering up in less than 0.5 seconds when needed

using 0.05W in Stand By Mode when the PC is inactive

using an astonishingly-low 29.57W when printing

Saving costs & reducing CO2

emissions from power usage


ECO POWER MANAGEMENT Saving Energy & Cost

No On / Off SwitchThe TSP100 ECO is “powered up” by

connecting the power cable first and

then the USB cable between Printer

and the PC. The Printer then “mimics”

the PC by going into Sleep Mode

during periods of inactivity with less

than 0.5 second wake up time

No ON / OFF Power Switch

Self Test achieved with Feed Button

[1] Connect the Power Cable [2] Connect one side of USB

connecter (to Printer or to Host)

[3] Press & Hold down the FEED

button for Self Test while

connecting the other end of the

USB cable

TSP100 ECO satisfies the Low Power

Consumption Level Requirements for

Energy Star and is one of the first

POS printers to achieve this

Note - The TM-T88V is not Energy Star certified if it is not

attached to the correct manufacturer’s power supply



The CO2 footprint of a POS Printer

is made up of the energy used:

During Manufacture & Disposal of the Printer

During Operation of the Printer

During Production of Paper used by the Printer

Research has shown the major damage comes from the

production of paper used. Star has therefore provided a number

of Paper Saving Tools to decrease environmental impact

plus

Star has already invested in a Carbon Offset Programwhich will compensate for the CO2 emissions created during

the printer’s production, disposal & 5 year energy use


Use the TSP100 ECO Guilt-Free!

Carbon offsetting is the responsible way to compensate for the

unavoidable CO2 emissions from our daily lives and economic activities by

supporting the projects that deliver the equivalent CO2 savings elsewhere

Star Micronics has therefore purchased Certified Emission Reductions (CERS)

carbon credits derived from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects as

defined by the Kyoto Protocol & registered by CDM Executive Board of UN

The carbon credits purchased will offset the CO2 emissions emitted

from the TSP100 ECO manufacturing & disposal process and

projected power consumption for up to 5 years (total 33.9 kg/unit) The CERs used will then be cancelled to complete the offsetting process

Star’s Carbon Offset Program

Customers are encouraged to download a Certificate from

www.futurePRNT.com which can then have the leaf sticker taken from

the printer and stuck to the certificate to demonstrate the retailer's

commitment

Does not appear that exciting until you consider -

TSP100 ECO is the 1st and only partial cut printer to achieve a 3mm Top Margin TM-T88IV & V cannot reverse feed in order to achieve this

The 3mm Top Margin saves a minimum of 8mm of wasted

paper on every receipt, ultimately saving metres & metres / rolls of paper. Not every competitor can even achieve an 11mm Top Margin

What’s in the Box?

Star, as today’s most innovative POS printer manufacturer, was the 1st manufacturer to include all installation accessories in the box increasing customer convenience and reducing packaging

Star has now taken this one step further by eliminating all polystyrene from the box and replacing it with innovative and ethically sourced cardboard packaging

Even the printer’s plastic case is made of halogen-free recyclable plastic
