Sanei SK4-31SF-M-ST 3-Inch Open Frame Kiosk Printer

Compact 80 mm direct thermal printer engine engineered for self-service kiosks, ticketing terminals and embedded POS where reliability and easy paper handling matter.
150 mm/sec print speed203 dpi · 576 dotsUSB 2.0 + RS-232C SerialFull / Partial cutter

The Sanei SK4-31SF-M-ST (Star Micronics part 37968551) is the 3-inch model of the SK4 open frame kiosk series, designed to drop into self-service hardware where space is tight and uptime is critical. With three selectable paper roll positions, dual USB and serial interfaces, and a command-controlled full or partial cutter, it covers receipts, tickets, queue tokens, parking stubs and information slips printed on standard 80 mm thermal rolls. The "M-ST" variant uses a Molex power connector with the included paper holder, ready for integration into kiosk enclosures.

Compatibility Note: This is an open-frame kiosk engine. A 24 V DC power supply (e.g. Star SA4-27A24O-1 / PS60A-24C) is required and is sold separately. A bezel (standard, Anti-Paper Jam or LED) is also typically required for end-user installations.
Best For
✓ Self-service ordering kiosks
✓ Ticketing & queue management terminals
✓ Parking and access control machines
✓ Lottery / amusement / vending kiosks
✓ Information & check-in terminals
✓ OEM POS integrations needing 80 mm receipts

Key Features

 
Compact Open-Frame Design
At 106 x 150 x 81.7 mm and ~410 g, the SK4-31 squeezes 80 mm printing into a footprint suitable for slim kiosk enclosures and panel installations.
 
Three Paper Roll Positions
Standard, top and bottom roll positions let integrators route paper according to the kiosk layout — no need to redesign the chassis around the printer.
 
Fast, Reliable Printing
150 mm/sec direct-thermal speed at 203 dpi (576 dots across a 72 mm print width) keeps customer queues moving during peak periods.
 
Dual USB + Serial Interface
RS-232C Serial and USB 2.0 cover both legacy kiosk controllers and modern PC / SBC hosts, with ESC/POS-class command support for easy software integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a power supply included?
No. The SK4-31SF-M-ST ships with the printer engine and paper holder, with a Molex power connector. A 24 V DC external power supply (e.g. Star SA4-27A24O-1 / PS60A-24C) and matching power cable are sold separately.
Does this printer come with a bezel?
No. The open-frame design is built for integration into custom kiosk enclosures. Optional Sanei / Star bezels are available, including a standard bezel, an LED bezel and an Anti-Paper Jam bezel (BZ2-SK4) for high-traffic deployments.
What paper does it use?
Standard 80 mm wide thermal receipt paper rolls up to Ø83 mm diameter, with internal core Ø12 mm and thickness 59 – 85 μm. Three roll positions (standard, top, bottom) allow flexible mounting inside the kiosk.
Will it work with my POS software?
The SK4-31 supports ESC/POS-class commands over RS-232C Serial or USB 2.0 and integrates via the Star Sanei Windows utility driver. Most POS and kiosk applications that drive Star or generic 80 mm thermal printers can be configured to use it.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose the SK4-31 if you are integrating a printer into a kiosk or self-service unit and need an 80 mm receipt or ticket at an entry-level price, with the flexibility of three paper roll positions. If you instead need a standalone counter receipt printer for a manned POS, consider a Star TSP143IV or mC-Print3 — they ship as desktop units with their own case and power supply. For larger 112 mm ticket stock or higher-volume kiosks, look at the Sanei SK1-41 series.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You are building or maintaining a kiosk, ticketing or self-service terminal that needs 80 mm receipts at 150 mm/sec with a robust 1,000,000-cut autocutter and flexible paper-roll routing.
Skip it if
You want a plug-and-play counter receipt printer with its own enclosure, power brick and Ethernet — the SK4-31 is an open-frame engine that requires a 24 V PSU, bezel and integration work.
Also consider
Sanei SK4-21 (58 mm version of this engine) for narrower receipts, or Sanei SK1-41 / Star SK5 series for larger paper, higher volume or built-in presenter / 12-position roll holder.
