Quick Take
Your checkout counter needs a thermal receipt printer that works over USB, and the Star TSP650II options here all share the same model name, thermal print method, and jam-free auto-cutter. The real decision is how much you want bundled with the printer. One unit skips the power supply and USB cord to keep the upfront cost lower; another includes a power supply and USB cable; two others fall in between. Figure out whether you already have an adapter and cable, then match that to the price.

Product Notes
Star TSP650II USB no Power Supply - USD 30.00
This is the lowest-priced way into the TSP650II model. It keeps the same thermal print method, USB connectivity, jam-free auto-cutter, and 3.13-inch print width as the others, and it comes from China with the Star brand name. The limitation is directly in the title: no power supply is included, and it does not come with a USB cord or power adapter. If you have a compatible adapter and cable on hand, the low upfront cost makes this a straightforward budget pick. If you need everything in one box, you will need to look at the with-power-supply versions.
Star TSP650II USB with Power Supply (Top Price) - USD 75.00
This is the highest-priced TSP650II in the group. The title tells you a power supply is included, and it carries the same USB thermal printing, jam-free auto-cutter, and compatible operating systems as the other with-power-supply units. The reason to choose it is simply that you get a power supply without hunting for one separately. The limitation is the price gap: it is $45.00 above the no-power-supply model. If that feature is all you need, the lower-priced with-power-supply units may suit you better.
Star TSP650II USB with Power Supply (Mid Price) - USD 59.99
At $59.99, this with-power-supply model sits in the middle of the price spread. It uses the same TSP650II thermal print method, USB connection, jam-free auto-cutter, and is aimed at retail use. The pick is straightforward: you want the adapter included and you want to stay below the highest listed price. The trade-off is the $27.99 difference over the no-power-supply unit, which is worth it only if you cannot use a spare adapter. This is the compromise option for a business that does not want to source a power supply separately.
Star TSP650II USB with Power Supply (Cable Bundle) - USD 32.00
This version is just $2.00 above the no-power-supply model, and it includes both a USB cable and a power adapter. It also carries the same thermal print width, auto-cutter, and USB connectivity, so you get the full package at nearly the base price. The limitation is a practical one: the adapter requires a standard three-prong cord on the other side, so you still need that small extra piece. If you want the adapter and cable covered without moving near the top of the price range, this is a practical balance in the group.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you have a spare USB cord and power adapter, the Star TSP650II USB no Power Supply is the clearest low-cost path. If you want those extras included and the price to stay close to the bottom, the Star TSP650II USB with Power Supply (Cable Bundle) is the better match. If you prefer a middle-priced with-power-supply unit, the Star TSP650II USB with Power Supply (Mid Price) covers the adapter. And if you want the top-priced with-power-supply model, the Star TSP650II USB with Power Supply (Top Price) is the straightforward choice.
