Star Micronics: Setting Up Your Printer

In this article, we’ll walk you through how to activate your Star Micronics printer. Graphics provided in these instructions may look different than the model you’re using, however the step by step instructions for connecting your printer remain the same.

 Note: You should have your printer located near an ethernet hub with a cord available and ready.

Make sure that your printer is positioned near an ethernet hub/router at your restaurant to enable communication between the printer and online ordering via ethernet. If you don’t have an ethernet cord (category 5 or higher) ready, one can be purchased here. 

1. Connect the LAN/Ethernet cable to the hub/router.
   

   

2. Connect the other side of the LAN/Ethernet cable to the printer's LAN/Ethernet connector. 

3. Plug AC Adapter into the power connector of the printer.

4. Insert power cable plug into electrical outlet.
