About
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

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.
