The Star Micronics TSP654IISK series of liner-free label printers is designed to work with liner-free labeling applications. Repositionable thermal labels can stick to virtually any surface and can be removed easily and reapplied leaving behind no residue. The liner-free labels are an alternative to using silicone-lined labels or tape. Since they do not use silicone liners, liner-free labels eliminate negative environmental impact and help cut back on in-house waste, thus continuing the Star Micronics Global Green Initiative which encompasses manufacturing products that provide minimal impact on our environment. Liner-free labels are a welcomed addition for quick service restaurants (QSR) applications, from drive-through service to self-service deli applications. The liner-free labels can be used for a modified item only or the entire order by attaching it to the bag. The labels can stay with and track an order through the entire preparation process, improving both drive-through, and takeout order accuracy, and creating a better bottom line. The labels also maintain image integrity because they are engineered to preserve thermal images in demanding applications. The taken sensor, available on the TSP654IISK, helps users avoid missing any orders and allows for flexible, efficient operations in the kitchen. The sensor's paper holding function delays printing the next order's data if the previous ticket has not been taken, allowing users to manage each order efficiently, especially during busy times when many orders are received. The taken sensor also includes a forced paper ejection setting, which forces the next order to print after a certain amount of time, in the event that a user forgot to remove a ticket. Lastly, the taken sensor features an option for a hold paper reminder, a buzzer which continues to sound until a ticket is taken.
