Choosing a receipt printer for a checkout lane often comes down to whether you need a bare printer or a printer with the accessories to run it. That is the exact choice between two Star TSP650II listings in POS retail supplies. Both are used black thermal receipt printers with USB connectivity, a jam-free auto-cutter, and compatibility with iOS, Windows, and Android. The real difference is the USD 2 list-price gap and what is included in each listing.
Quick verdict
If you already have a spare power adapter and USB cable, choose the Star TSP650II without power supply at USD 30.00 and keep your setup cost down. If you want the USB cable and power adapter included, choose the Star TSP650II with power supply at USD 32.00, but keep in mind the adapter still needs a standard three-prong cord.
Price and inclusion comparison
| Product | Listed price | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Star TSP650II no power supply | USD 30.00 | Printer only; no USB cord or power adapter |
| Star TSP650II with power supply | USD 32.00 | Printer, USB cable, power adapter; adapter needs standard three-prong cord |
Where each listing wins
The no-power-supply version wins on list price. It is the lower-priced of the two, making it the practical pick when your POS setup already has a compatible power adapter and USB cable. The with-power-supply version wins on convenience. It includes the USB cable and power adapter, so you avoid the extra step of tracking those down before you can print. Both listings are used printers with the same thermal print method and USB connection.
Product notes
Star TSP650II Thermal Receipt Black Printer TSP650 USB no Power Supply DK POS
This listing is the lower-priced path into the Star TSP650II. If you are replacing an older receipt printer, you may already have the power adapter and USB cable it needs. That makes this the more economical choice when you do not need to buy accessories along with the printer. The limitation is clear: it does not come with a USB cord or power adapter, so it is not ready to run unless you already own those pieces. For a retailer with a spare adapter drawer or a setup that uses a different power source, this version lets you pay for the printer alone.
Star TSP650II Thermal Receipt Black Printer TSP650 USB with Power Supply DK POS
This listing includes the USB cable and power adapter that the other version omits, at a higher listed price. If you are setting up a new checkout lane from scratch or your previous adapter stopped working, this is the version that gets you closer to plug-and-play without a separate accessory order. The trade-off is that the adapter side needs a standard three-prong cord, so you still need one cable in hand. For a buyer who wants a more complete bundle and is comfortable with the slightly higher listed price, this is the convenient route.
Final choice by use case
- If you already have a power adapter and USB cable: choose the no-power-supply Star TSP650II.
- If you need a power adapter and USB cable in the bundle: choose the with-power-supply Star TSP650II.
- If your priority is the lower listed price for the same printer base: pick the no-power-supply version.
- If your priority is a more complete setup from one listing: pick the with-power-supply version and have a three-prong cord nearby.
