Star SM-S230i — Portable receipt printer for mobile selling

When your sales floor isn't a fixed counter — at events, a pop-up shop, tableside in a restaurant, or an outdoor stall — the Star SM-S230i makes sure a receipt is in the customer's hand within seconds. The printer travels with you and doesn't tie you to a desk.

Works wherever you are

The SM-S230i pairs with an iPhone or iPad over Bluetooth (SPP, iOS) without any cables. A USB connection is also on board, so you can run it wired whenever that suits you better. Getting started doesn't require special apps or a lengthy setup — pair the device and start printing.

Direct thermal: nothing to replace

The SM-S230i uses direct thermal printing: no ink cartridges, no ribbons, no consumables to stock. Print resolution is 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) and speed is 80 mm/s — a busy Friday evening queue won't be waiting on the printer.

The 58 mm maximum media width fits the receipt rolls used in most countertop and pocket-sized setups. ESC/POS command support means the printer works with the majority of point-of-sale software straight out of the box.

Everything in the box

The kit includes a USB cable, EU power supply, belt clip, battery, and a receipt roll — you can have the printer up and running the same day it arrives. Nothing needs to be ordered separately before the first receipt prints.

Built for daily carry

The SM-S230i is designed to be transported and used repeatedly through the day. Country of origin is South Korea, and the printer carries a 24-month warranty. If something goes wrong, Vaivatta handles the warranty process on your behalf — you won't need to deal with the manufacturer directly.
