provisioning of wireless printers to facilitate printing‘ out-of-the-box’.
Multifunctional Labelling Solutions
For businesses that require both food order and label printing solutions, the multi-media Star mC- Label3 can print traditional pre-formatted die cut labels, high adhesive permanent and semipermanent linerless labels media including low adhesive‘ re-stick’ labels from 25mm to 80mm, as well as receipts. These include labels such as permanent food and allergy labels for food storage, customer collection and delivery labels as well as customer orders.
Given the rise in multichannel ordering across hospitality in recent years we are clearly seeing growing demand for customer collection and thirdparty delivery, resulting in the need for labelling products to print permanent and repositionable labels, food orders, clear delivery and takeaway customer order labels as well as bag seals.
With legislation around accurate ingredients and allergy identification for pre-packed food creating additional challenges, labelling products have a range of tasks to perform resulting in the emergence of versatile multifunctional printers that can respond and adapt to any environment and application.
Such printers allow different sizes and types of labels to be printed from one easy-to-use device including variable length food and allergy labels, nutrition information as well as food delivery labels and bag seals from web-based apps or local services. This enables businesses to be flexible and benefit from a futureproof solution that can accommodate a shift from traditional labelling to more future-orientated labelling applications.
In line with growing demand for omnichannel labelling solutions, Star has significantly expanded its Cloud-connected label printer range. These solutions meet the requirements of both traditional labelling applications as well as more diverse and future-orientated food labelling applications, while providing simple set-up and
User friendly with paper width detection and simple drop-in loading, different media can be loaded with ease, while jam free operation ensures reliable printing. Star’ s Cloud-based free labelling app offers a wide range of pre-designed label templates, whilst the one touch label function allows for storing and printing of up to three label designs which can be printed instantly. And, thanks to its IP22-rated design the printer can be used safely in kitchen environments.
The mC-Label3 benefits from multiple interfaces for local PC, network, tablet and Cloud connectivity. In addition, it includes Bluetooth, Ethernet LAN and USB-C connectivity as well as direct sync and charge with supported tablets, together with hub connectivity to connect a scanner or customer display. Innovative WLAN and Bluetooth setup designed to simplify wireless connectivity‘ out-ofthe-box’, enables users to quickly connect via an auto-generated QR code or via the Star Quick Set Up Utility and be online within less than a minute. For multi-site installations, this provides simple and straightforward provisioning of multiple printers.
For a more compact labelling solution, the multifunctional version of the new Star mC-Label2 printer is ideal where space is limited thanks to its unique front-loading design allowing for easy paper loading and for the printer to fit neatly on or under the counter.
