The Star Micronics SP298, marketed as the Star Impact SlipPro, is a durable dot-matrix receipt printer designed for demanding POS and kitchen environments in retail, hospitality and foodservice. Built as a desktop impact printer rather than a thermal unit, the SP298 handles receipts and multi-part forms reliably where heat-sensitive or carbon-copy output is required. Available in white and grey finishes and offered with serial, parallel (LPT) interfaces, this family of variants provides straightforward integration with legacy POS systems and kitchen printers, delivering consistent, low-maintenance performance and compatibility across point-of-sale workflows.

Key Features

  • Impact dot-matrix printing: Reliable non-thermal printing ideal for multi-part forms, carbon copies and environments where heat-based printing is unsuitable.
  • Multiple connectivity options: Available with serial and parallel (LPT) interfaces for easy integration with legacy POS systems and kitchen printers.
  • POS and kitchen ready: Configurations targeted to point-of-sale and kitchen use ensure compatibility with restaurant and retail workflows.
  • Desktop form factor: Compact desktop design fits counter and kitchen spaces while providing robust, low-maintenance operation.
  • Color options: Offered in white and grey finishes to match different retail or back-of-house aesthetics.
