Star Micronics MCW10 Wireless Module - Wireless LAN for Receipt Printer

The Star Micronics MCW10 is a wireless LAN module for compatible Star receipt printers, suited to retail and hospitality businesses that want to connect a supported printer to Wi-Fi; check printer compatibility before buying.

Recommended For

• Retail and hospitality operators using a compatible Star printer who need to place receipt printing where it is useful—such as a counter or kitchen—without running a network cable to the router.
• Businesses with a compatible Star receipt printer that needs Wi-Fi network access for POS printing, including Shopify POS setups that meet Shopify’s printer and device requirements.
• Merchants who want to connect a compatible Star printer and another network-capable device, such as a payment terminal, through the MCW10’s Wi-Fi connection.
• Operators who can configure the adapter with Star’s Quick Setup Utility on a phone or tablet and want to add wireless LAN connectivity to a supported printer.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• At a retail counter with Wi-Fi but no convenient Ethernet drop, a business can add the MCW10 to a compatible Star printer and place it where receipts are needed, without running a network cable back to the router.
• In a restaurant, staff can place a compatible receipt printer closer to the kitchen or service area; the MCW10 provides the printer’s Wi-Fi connection so its location is less dependent on an Ethernet outlet.
• A shop using Shopify POS can connect a supported Star receipt printer through the MCW10 to print customer receipts over the store’s Wi-Fi network.
• When a checkout needs both a receipt printer and a network-capable payment terminal, the MCW10 can connect the printer and one additional device to Wi-Fi, reducing the need for separate network runs at the counter.
• A business upgrading an existing compatible Star printer can use the MCW10 to add wireless LAN capability, then configure the connection with Star’s setup utility instead of replacing the printer solely to get Wi-Fi.
