"Star Micronics has always played an innovative role in the printer industry. Our participation with Microsoft RMS is the most recent example of that role," said Michael Hanson, vice president of Star Micronics America.

We believe Star's line of receipt printers is an ideal complement to RMS as the printers bring additional benefits to point of sale applications."
