Setting Up the Star TSP 143IIIU-230 Printer (USB)

This guide covers setting up the Star Micronics TSP 143IIIU-230 via USB.

To use the Star receipt printer, first prepare the receipt printer and connect it to your iPad via USB. To do this, you'll also need a Lightning cable, which is included in the standard package by default.

Preparing the USB Receipt Printer

  • Take the printer out of the packaging and place it where you'd like it to go.
  • Connect the printer to power using the included power adapter.

Connecting the USB Receipt Printer to Your iPad

You'll need a Lightning-to-USB-A cable for this, of the kind typically included with an iPad. Follow these steps to connect the iPad:

  • Plug the USB-A port on the back of the printer into the left connector (1), and secure the cable if needed using the cable clip on the right (2).

  • Tap the arrow > in the top left to open the app menu, and select Settings at the bottom.
