Product Overview

The Star Micronics mPOP is a compact point-of-sale peripheral combining a 58mm direct thermal receipt printer and cash drawer in one enclosure.
Designed for businesses with limited checkout space, it eliminates the need for separate printer and cash drawer units while supporting compatible tablet-based and computer-based POS workflows.
The mPOP family includes different generations, colours and connectivity configurations. The original POP10 WHT and newer mPOP10CBI models should not be considered technically identical.
This page provides family-level information to help customers identify their existing equipment, compare configurations and select the appropriate model for their POS application.

Product Description

The Star Micronics mPOP integrates receipt printing and cash storage into a low-profile enclosure measuring approximately 308 × 300 × 100mm.
Its front-loading paper mechanism allows operators to replace receipt rolls without moving the entire POS installation.
The integrated cash drawer provides compact storage for notes and coins, while compatible POS software controls receipt printing and drawer operation.
Depending on the selected generation, mPOP connectivity can include Bluetooth, USB-B, USB-A and USB-C.
The mPOP is a POS peripheral rather than a complete standalone POS computer. A compatible host device and POS application are normally required.

Original POP10 vs POP10CI vs POP10CBI

Original POP10

• Earlier-generation mPOP hardware
• Bluetooth 2.1 on documented Bluetooth configurations
• USB connectivity
• 58mm direct thermal receipt printing
• Integrated compact cash drawer
• Maximum printing speed approximately 100mm/s
• Partial-cut guillotine on documented original configurations
• No USB-C connection

POP10CI

• Later USB-C-oriented mPOP configuration
• USB-C communication and compatible device charging
• Not equivalent to the Bluetooth-enabled POP10CBI
• Exact regional configuration and part number must be checked

POP10CBI

• Newer-generation mPOP
• Bluetooth 5.0
• USB-C communication and charging for compatible devices
• USB-B connectivity
• Three USB-A ports on documented configurations
• Full or partial receipt cutting
• Updated paper-handling features
• Approximate weight of 3.9kg without paper

Important: Connectivity, power delivery, operating-system compatibility and peripheral support must be verified against the exact Star manufacturer part number.

58mm Direct Thermal Receipt Printing

The integrated printer uses heat-sensitive 58mm receipt paper.
Direct thermal printing does not require ink cartridges, toner or thermal-transfer ribbon.
The compact receipt width is suitable for compatible transaction layouts, including:

• Retail receipts
• Café and bakery receipts
• Salon payment receipts
• Boutique transactions
• Small-service invoices
• Counter sales receipts
• Pop-up retail transactions
  The POS application must support appropriate 58mm formatting.
  Businesses requiring wider receipts, larger logos or extensive transaction details should consider whether an 80mm receipt printer would be more suitable.

Integrated Cash Drawer

The mPOP cash drawer is built into the same enclosure as the receipt printer.
This helps reduce the number of separate devices on the checkout counter.
The drawer provides compartments for notes and coins, with operation controlled through compatible POS software.
Because it is smaller than a conventional full-size cash drawer, businesses handling substantial cash volumes should assess its capacity before purchasing.
The integrated drawer is intended for normal POS cash handling and should not be treated as a high-security safe.

Connectivity & POS Software Compatibility

The correct mPOP model depends on the intended host device and POS software.
Before selecting a model, verify:

• Tablet or computer model
• Operating system and version
• POS application
• Required Bluetooth or USB connection
• Bluetooth version compatibility
• USB-C communication and charging requirements
• Receipt printing commands
• Cash drawer control
• Scanner and display support
• Printer driver or SDK availability
  Compatibility with an operating system does not automatically guarantee compatibility with every POS application.
  A successful installation requires the complete hardware and software combination to be supported.

Tablet-Based POS Applications

A typical mPOP installation may include:

• Compatible tablet or computer
• Supported POS application
• Star Micronics mPOP
• 58mm thermal receipt paper
• Optional compatible barcode scanner
• Optional compatible customer display
• Optional tablet stand or mounting accessory
• Separate payment terminal where required
  The tablet, POS software, payment terminal and other accessories should not be assumed to be included with the mPOP.

• Small retail stores
• Fashion boutiques
• Gift shops
• Specialty retailers
• Pop-up stores
• Exhibition sales counters

• Bakeries

Mobile & Temporary Retail

  Suitability depends on the actual POS software, payment workflow and operational requirements.

Optional Accessories & POS Ecosystem

Depending on the model and installation, compatible accessories may include:

• Barcode scanners
• Customer displays
• Tablet stands
• Under-counter mounting accessories
• Security accessories
• Compatible USB peripherals
• 58mm thermal receipt paper
• Replacement power accessories
  Accessory availability and compatibility must be checked against the exact mPOP configuration.
  Optional accessories are not included unless expressly stated in the quotation.

Payment Terminal Clarification

The mPOP is not a standalone card payment terminal.
Its primary functions are receipt printing and cash storage.
Electronic card payments generally require a separate compatible payment device, merchant account or integrated payment service.
Customers should verify payment integration with their POS software and payment provider.

Buyer Guidance – Which mPOP Should You Choose?

Choose an original POP10 replacement when maintaining an existing compatible installation and the exact original connection method is required.
Evaluate POP10CI when a documented USB-C-oriented configuration matches the host device and software.
Evaluate POP10CBI when newer Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity are required and supported by the POS application.
Consider another POS printer when 80mm receipts, Ethernet, a larger cash drawer or high-volume printing are essential.
For new installations, selecting a currently supported configuration is generally preferable to relying on legacy hardware.
