Star SP298 Printer Review
Expert review of the Star SP298 printer
The Star SP298 forms printer is specifically made for a business that needs to print branded receipts. The SP298 Star Micronics printer is aimed at gift shops, boutiques, restaurants, pubs, and other similar merchants that need the convenience of a compact, user-friendly, and speedy receipt printer. However, the SP-298 ribbon printer is somewhat expensive.
Design
With a rugged design and a bi-directional layout, the Star SP298 slip printer is a reliable device for multi-copy output and cut-sheet forms. It comes with an interchangeable power supply and reliable helix head drive. It is easy to operate because of the minimal control panel. The auto-slide loading mechanism lets users slide paper easily into the SP298 and it automatically clamps on the sheet for fast printing. The estimated page life of the black Star SP298 ribbon is 1.2 million characters.
Advantages
Users have a choice between a serial or parallel version to ensure that the Star SP298 barcode printer can fit their needs. Both Windows and Android platforms are supported, but it also works with iOS platforms. Graphics and special characters can be printed because of the 9-pin printhead, and up to 3.1 lines per second can be accomplished with the bi-directional cheque mode. The Star SP298 dot-matrix printer can easily be placed on a desktop or a counter with its compact frame.
Disadvantages
The auto-slide loading mechanism of the Star SP298 series slip printer may seem awkward to use at first, especially when paper alignment is concerned. The somewhat high initial cost could turn off users with a limited budget. The Star SP 298 could be more user-friendly with larger controls.
