Connect a Printer
|
|||
|
|
=================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When using your *IoT Box* in Odoo, you could need to use a printer.
|
|||
|
|
Doing so is easy and convenient as it can be done in a few steps. Then,
|
|||
|
|
you can use it to print receipts, orders or even reports in different
|
|||
|
|
Odoo apps.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Connection
|
|||
|
|
==========
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To connect the printer to the *IoT Box*, you just have to combine the
|
|||
|
|
two by cable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. note::
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes, a serial to USB adapter may be needed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If your printer is a `supported
|
|||
|
|
one <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`__, there is no need to set up anything
|
|||
|
|
because it will be automatically detected as soon as it is connected.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. note::
|
|||
|
|
The printer can take up to two minutes to appear in your devices list.

In some cases, you may need to restart the box and download your
|
|||
|
|
printer’s drivers from the box. To do so, go to the *IoT Box Home
|
|||
|
|
Page* and click on *drivers list*. Then, click on load drivers.

To Work Orders
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can link *Work Orders* to printers via a *Quality Control Point*
|
|||
|
|
to print labels for manufactured products.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To do so, you need to create a *Quality Control Point* from the
|
|||
|
|
*Quality* app. Then, you can select the correct manufacturing
|
|||
|
|
operation and the work order operation. In type, choose *Print Label*
|
|||
|
|
and hit save.

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, each time you reach the quality control point for the chosen
|
|||
|
|
product, a *Print Label* button will appear.
|
|||

To Reports
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also link a type of report to a certain printer. In the *IoT*
|
|||
|
|
app, go to the *Devices* menu and select the printer you want to set
|
|||
|
|
up.
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, go to the *Printer Reports* tab.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. image:: media/printer_06.png
|
|||
|
|
:align: center
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Hit edit and then, click on *Add a line*. In the window that shows up,
|
|||
|
|
check all the types of reports that should be linked to this printer.
|
|||
|
|
Click on select and save.

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, each time you click on *Print* in the control panel, instead of
|
|||
|
|
downloading a PDF, it will send it to the selected printer and
|
|||
|
|
automatically print it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Print Receipts from the PoS
|
|||
|
|
---------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can link a printer to your *Point of Sale* app so you can print
|
|||
|
|
receipts directly from your *PoS*.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Doing so is really easy. Go to your *Point of Sale* app and open your
|
|||
|
|
*PoS* settings, under *Configuration*. There, click on *Edit* and
|
|||
|
|
check the *IoT Box* feature. Then, enable the *Receipt Printer*.

|
|||
|

:align: center
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, on your *PoS* view, you will be able to print different kinds of
|
|||
|
|
tickets: **receipts**, **sale details** and **bills**.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For the receipt, it will be printed once the order is validated. The
|
|||
|
|
process is automated when you enable the feature in your *PoS*.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sales details can be printed by clicking on the printer icon on the
|
|||
|
|
navbar at the top of the *PoS*. It will print the details of the sales
|
|||
|
|
of the current day.

As for the bill, it is only available in restaurant mode. In your
|
|||
|
|
restaurant settings, activate bills and a *Bill* button will appear in
|
|||
|
|
the left panel. Click on it and it will print the bill.

|
|||
|
|
---------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In restaurant mode, you can send order tickets to the kitchen.
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
To do so, go to the *PoS* app and open your *PoS* settings. Then,
|
|||
|
|

|
|||

|
selected categories, the button *Order* will be green. If you click on
|
|||
|
|
it, a ticket will be printed.
