Star SP298 slip Printer – serial / parallel port

The SP298 is the ideal printer for printing “company branded” pre-printed multi-part slips/forms. In many hotels, owners used the same printed form through the bar, the reception, the restaurant or gift shop. The SP298 is world famous for its “tab” capability: additional items (drinks or desserts) can be printed as ordered, due to the auto alignment and positioning feature.
