Star Micronics HI-X Connect — Interface Card for TSP-Series Printers

The HI-X Connect is a Star Micronics interface card designed specifically for TSP600II, TSP700II, and TSP800II receipt printers. It expands your printer's connectivity options to cover both USB and Ethernet, so the printer keeps working regardless of how your point-of-sale setup is wired — whether that's a direct cable to a till or a shared connection across multiple checkout points.

What it does in practice

How your till, tablet, or computer connects to the printer matters more than most people expect. The wrong interface means a working printer sitting idle while a queue builds. HI-X Connect removes that problem by giving you every connection you're likely to need on one card:

• ·2× USB-A — for connecting a cash drawer and another peripheral at the same time
• ·1× USB-B — for linking the host device, such as your POS terminal or computer
• ·1× Ethernet — for network environments where one printer serves more than one checkout station

With a single card installed, you can connect over a wired network or directly by USB cable — whichever your setup calls for. That also means you won't need to replace the printer if you add a second till or switch POS software down the line.

Compatible printers

HI-X Connect fits the following Star Micronics receipt printer models:

• ·TSP600II
• ·TSP700II
• ·TSP800II

Check your printer's model number before ordering. If you're not sure whether it's the right fit, get in touch with Vaivatta — we'll confirm compatibility before anything ships.

Installation

The card slots into the printer's interface bay. No specialist tools are needed, but if you'd rather not handle it yourself, Vaivatta can take care of installation for you. That way the printer is ready to go from the moment it's back on the counter, with no risk of a loose connection causing a dropout during your busiest hour.
