Overview
The Star Micronics mPOP™ is purpose-built for modern retailers and hospitality venues that want the power of a full POS
without the mess of multiple boxes and cables. At the top, a whisper-quiet 2-inch direct-thermal printer produces clean,
legible receipts in seconds. Beneath, a micro cash drawer secures notes and coins behind a front-lockable door , keeping
your counter tidy and professional. The integrated tablet cradle (supports devices up to ~10″ diagonal) sets your iPad,
Android or Windows tablet at a comfortable viewing angle for staff and customers alike.
Connectivity is painless: pair via Bluetooth® or plug in with USB-micro-B to iOS, Android, Windows or Mac hosts.
Out-of-the-box compatibility with popular POS apps— Shopify POS, Lightspeed Retail, Square, Vend, Hike, iZettle and more—
means you can be up and running quickly with support for tipping, loyalty and signature capture . For barcode workflows,
add the optional scanner bracket to mount a handheld scanner and complete your compact checkout.
With a footprint of just 250 × 210 × 67 mm , the mPOP™ fits anywhere—boutique counters, food trucks, kiosks,
pop-up stalls and event booths. Choose a sleek white or black finish to match your brand aesthetic. Drop-in paper loading
and intuitive front access make roll changes fast, while quiet operation keeps customer interactions calm and conversational.

Deployment Tips
Pairing & drivers: Use your POS provider’s recommended Star driver or SDK for best results on iOS/Android/Windows/macOS. Test sample prints and cash-drawer kicks within the POS app.
Paper & power: Keep spare 58 mm thermal rolls at hand. Route power and USB neatly under-counter to maintain the mPOP’s clean aesthetic.
Accessories: Add the optional scanner bracket and a compact 2D scanner for fast barcode workflows; consider a tablet mount/stand if you prefer off-unit tablet positioning.
