Star Micronics America, a leading worldwide manufacturer of point of service printers, has announced that their TSP100 and TSP700II printers have been certified by Share One to integrate seamlessly with their NewSolutions software.

ShareOne and Star’s relationship flourished after Share One began testing Star printers with their software.

“At Share One, we are constantly looking for solutions to help our clients achieve their budgetary and service goals,” stated Scott Bush, Chief Technology Officer at Share One.  “Star printers are cost
effective, easy to install and offer our credit union customers the reliability they need.”

NewSolutions core processing software provides a full range of advanced features, including comprehensive support for consumer, mortgage, and commercial loans, a full suite of Internet based solutions, and can be delivered via in-house, service center, or server hosted. In order to become certified with NewSolutions software, the TSP100 and TSP700II had to have the ability to be implemented across multiple Windows platforms and be Citrix compliant.

“Star printers have long been a staple in the credit and banking markets. We are pleased to offer our printers to Share One’s clients and be aligned with such a reputable leader in this market,” said Christophe Naasz, Director of Marketing at Star Micronics America, Inc.

The TSP100 is the first all-in-one receipt printer and offers an internal power supply and high throughput of 22 receipts per minute (RPM). Star’s TSP700II boasts a print speed of 48 RPM and is ideal for high-volume establishments such as banks, credit unions and other financial institutions.
