Star MCP31CI – Receipt Printer for Daily Heavy Use

The Star MCP31CI is built for the moment when there's a queue at the counter and every second counts. At 400 mm/s, the receipt is in the customer's hand before they've finished putting their wallet away — no waiting, no frustration for the people behind them.

Connections that work with your existing setup

The printer supports USB Type A, USB-C, and Ethernet. Already have a point-of-sale system? The MCP31CI connects to it regardless of how your network or hardware is arranged. If you're not sure about compatibility with your current till, contact Vaivatta and we'll sort it out for you.

Why the MCP31CI fits your counter

The automatic cutter finishes each receipt cleanly without staff having to tear paper by hand — a small detail that adds up during a busy lunch rush. The drawer kickout opens the cash drawer automatically when a receipt prints, so the transaction moves forward without an extra step.

MQTT support means the printer connects to cloud-based POS systems without any local software installation. If your till runs as a cloud service, this printer is designed precisely for that setup.
