Star Micronics TSP700 thermal printer is HIPAA compliant as a patient check-in printer for the front office. The printer can easily be placed on the office manager’s desk, out of site from other patients. When a patient electronically signs in, a copy is printed and placed in the patient’s folder. The solution maintains patient confidentiality throughout the patient’s visit.
Star Micronics also offers a number of kiosk printers that fit a range of stationary and mobile medical equipment/machines including:
NP-211 - 2-Inch Thermal Kiosk Printer w/ Semi-Automatic Cutter
The NP-211 is a unique product designed for cost-conscious applications where maintenance-free operation is invaluable. The innovative design of the semi-automatic cutter utilizes the force from the user removing the receipt to separate the receipt from the rest of the paper roll. This not only results in lower power consumption, but more importantly limits the number of moving parts - increasing the service life and maintenance interval of the printer.
NP-255 - 2-Inch Thermal Journal Printer
The NP-255 is a 2-inch thermal journal printer with a clamshell-type design for easy paper loading. By using its automatic spooling mechanism to spool the paper on the reusable spindle, the NP-255 printer is ideal as a journal printer.
- Automatic Journal Spool
- Prints Various Barcodes
- Drop-In Paper Loading
- Small Footprint
NP-366 Slim - 3-Inch Clamshell-Type Thermal Kiosk Printer Slim Version
The NP366 Slim version is a great solution for today’s slim-line kiosk applications where the depth of the kiosk is minimal and a very small profile printer is required. Its clamshell-type design makes paper loading fast and simple. With a printing speed of 220 mm/per second, the NP366 is a true performer in an easy to integrate package with an extremely small footprint.
