80 mm and 58 mm Paper Support

The MCP31CI is designed primarily for:

80 mm receipt paper

and can also support:

58 mm paper with the appropriate paper guide.

Maximum Print Width: approximately 72 mm
Maximum Roll Diameter: up to approximately 83 mm

The appropriate paper width should be selected according to the POS layout and receipt design.

USB-C Power Delivery

One of the key features of the MCP31CI is its:

USB-C Power Delivery interface

Star specifies support for compatible:

• iOS devices
• Android devices
• Windows devices

This interface can simplify tablet-based POS environments by combining data connectivity with applicable device power delivery.

Compatibility with the exact tablet, operating system and POS software should still be verified before deployment.

SteadyLAN Technology

The MCP31CI supports Star's:

SteadyLAN

technology.

This is designed to help compatible USB-C-connected tablet POS environments maintain network access through the printer's Ethernet connection.

This can reduce the need for a separate network connection directly to the tablet in supported setups.

Ethernet LAN

The printer includes:

Ethernet LAN

for compatible network-based POS installations.

This can be useful for:

• Retail POS
• Restaurant POS
• Kitchen ordering
• Network receipt printing
• Cloud-connected POS systems
• Multi-terminal business environments

USB-A Peripheral Hub

The MCP31CI includes:

USB-A peripheral hub support

Star documents support for peripheral devices such as compatible HID devices, displays and USB memory depending on implementation.

Peripheral compatibility should be confirmed before deployment.

CloudPRNT Next

The MCP31CI supports:

CloudPRNT Next

Star's cloud-printing technology allows compatible systems to send print jobs from web-based or cloud-hosted applications without requiring a conventional local PC at every printing location.

Potential applications include:

• Online ordering
• Food-ordering platforms
• Web shops
• Order-at-table systems
• Cloud POS
• Remote order printing

Front-Loading / Front-Exit Design

The mC-Print3 uses a compact front-loading, front-exit paper path.

This can be useful in tight POS areas where access from the top or rear is limited.

The design is also intended to reduce receipt curling through Star's flat-print architecture.

Automatic Cutter

The printer includes a:

Guillotine Autocutter

with partial-cut operation.

Star specifies cutter life at:

Up to 2 million cuts

under applicable test conditions.

Sensors

The MCP31CI includes:

• Paper-end sensor
• Cover-open sensor
• Paper-near-end sensor

These help operators monitor media status and printer condition during daily operation.

IP22 Design

The mC-Print3 platform is documented with:

IP22 protection

This can provide additional resistance to applicable dripping water exposure in suitable hospitality and kitchen-related environments.

IP22 should not be interpreted as waterproofing or permission for exposure beyond the manufacturer's operating limits.
