Star’s New SM-L200 Mobile Printer
Star has announced the new release of a new 2-inch portable printer, the SM-L200.
The SM-L200 has some industry’s first features such like Bluetooth 4.0 communication and a 5V charge.

Its convenient 5V PC or smartphone charging via a Micro USB cable, which is normally used for consumer products such like smartphones, eliminates a need of the dedicated charging adapter and allows users to charge easily via a charger for a smartphone, a USB port of PC and a portable battery for a cell phone. The SM-L200 realizes the lowest price among Star portable printers and targets customers who focus on “low cost and high functionality” more than “print speed and communication speed”.
