High Speed Throughput |
Overview
Very often the focus of a printer is it's print speed. But the ability to print paper fast is nothing if it is unable to quickly process the data as well. The TSP100 has (like many Star printers before) been designed with such advanced processing power that a new way of measuring and comparing "throughput" is now required. This new measurement is called RPM (Receipts per minute) which measures the time taken to issue the receipt from the moment the software triggers it to when it is fully printed. This amazing processing power means that users are no longer limited to basic receipts with old fashioned resident fonts. With the TSP100 futurePRNT it is possible to produce modern receipts with True Type fonts and graphics in the same amount of time.
The table below shows how the TSP100 futurePRNT compares to other Star printers and a leading competitor when printing using both Resident and True Type fonts.
