-
-Ethernet connection
-===================
-
-The following is the process to connect the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box via an ethernet
-cable to the Odoo database (by way of the ethernet port; RJ-45).
-
-First, connect all wired devices to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box (ethernet, :abbr:`USB
-(Universal Serial Bus)` devices, etc.). At minimum, an HDMI screen should be connected. Then, plug
-the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box into a power source.
-
-Immediately after the unit powers on and boots up, read the *pairing code* from the screen or from
-the printout of a receipt printer connected to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-
-.. warning::
-   By default, the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box will display the *pairing code* for a
-   maximum of 5 minutes after the unit boots up. After 5 minutes, the *pairing code* will disappear
-   for security purposes and the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box will need to be rebooted
-   manually by unplugging the unit from the power source for ten seconds and re-plugging it back in.
-
-.. note::
-   If no screen is attached to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, then the *pairing code* can
-   be accessed from the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage by clicking on the
-   :guilabel:`POS Display` button. For instructions on how to access the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
-   Things)` box homepage visit :ref:`iot_connect/token`.

-WiFi connection
-===============
-
-The following is the process to connect the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box via a WiFi
-connection to the Odoo database.
-
-First, ensure there is no ethernet cable plugged into the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-Then, connect all wired devices to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box (:abbr:`USB (Universal
-Serial Bus)` devices, etc.).
-
-After connecting the devices, plug the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box into to a power source.
-On the computer, navigate to :menuselection:`IoT app --> IoT Boxes`, and then click on the
-:guilabel:`Connect` button located in the upper-left corner of the the :menuselection:`IoT Boxes`
-dashboard. Then copy the :guilabel:`Token` from the :guilabel:`WiFi connection` section as this will
-later be used to link the Odoo database to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-
-Back on the computer, navigate to the available WiFi networks and connect to the :abbr:`IoT
-(Internet of Things)` box WiFi network. The WiFi network dispersed by the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
-Things)` box  will start with `IoTBox-xxxxxxxxxx`.

-=======================
-HTTPS certificate (IoT)
-=======================
-
-What is HTTPS?
-==============
-
-*Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure* (HTTPS) is the secure version of *Hypertext Transfer Protocol*
-(HTTP), which is the primary protocol used to send data back and forth between a web browser and a
-website. :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` is encrypted in order to increase the
-security of data transfer.
-
-:abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` uses an encryption protocol to encrypt
-communications. The protocol is called *Transport Layer Security* (TLS), although formerly it was
-known as *Secure Sockets Layer* (SSL).
-
-:abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` occurs based upon the transmission of :abbr:`TLS
-(Transport Layer Security)`/:abbr:`SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)` certificates, which verify that a
-particular provider is who they say they are.
-
-.. note::
-   In this documentation and throughout Odoo the term "HTTPS certificate" will be used to define the
-   fact that the :abbr:`SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)` certificate is valid and allows a :abbr:`HTTPS
-   (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` connection.
-
-Why is it needed?
------------------
-
-In order to communicate with certain network devices (in particular for payment terminals), the
-usage of :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` is mandatory. If the :abbr:`HTTPS
-(Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate isn't valid, some devices won't be able to
-interact with the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box.
-
-How to obtain a Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) certificate
-======================================================================
-
-The generation of the :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate is automatic.
-
-The :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` Box will send a specific request to `<https://www.odoo.com>`_
-which will send back the :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate if the
-:abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box and database are eligible.

-    .. note::
-       If the subscription is in question, contact the database's Account Manager or Partner
-       regarding the matter.
-
-Troubleshooting Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) certificate errors
-=============================================================================
-
-If anything goes wrong during the process of the "HTTPS certificate" generation or reception, a
-specific error will code be given on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box home page.
-
-.. tip::
-   Accessing the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage will check for the presence of the
-   "HTTPS certificate" and will attempt its generation if it is missing. As such, if there is an
-   error on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box home page, refresh the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
-   Things)` home page to see if the error disappears.
-
-`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_CHECK_NO_SERVER`
--------------------------------
-
-Reason:
-    The configuration regarding the server is missing. In other words, the Odoo instance is not
-    connected with the IoT box.
-
-Solution:
-    Ensure that the server is configured.
-
-.. seealso::
-   :doc:`/applications/general/iot/config/connect`
-
-`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_CHECK_CERT_READ_EXCEPTION`
------------------------------------------
-
-Reason:
-    An unhandled error happened when trying to read the existing :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer
-    Protocol Secure)` certificate.
-
-Solution:
-    Ensure that the :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate file is readable.
-
-`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_NO_CREDENTIAL`
-----------------------------------
-
-Reason:
-    The contract and/or database :abbr:`UUID (Universal Unique Identifier)` is missing.
-
-Solution:
-    Ensure that both values are configured as intended. To modify them, go to the :abbr:`IoT
-    (Internet of Things)` box home page, and navigate to :guilabel:`Credential`.
-
-`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_EXCEPTION`
---------------------------------------
-
-Reason:
-    An unexpected error happened when the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box tried to reach
-    `<https://www.odoo.com>`_. The causes are likely due to the network
-    infrastructure/configuration:
-
-     - The :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box does not have access to internet.
-     - The network does not allow the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box to communicate with
-       `<https://www.odoo.com>`_. This may be due to network devices preventing the communication
-       (firewalls, etc.) or the network configuration (:abbr:`VPN (Virtual Private Network)`,
-       etc.).
-
-    .. note::
-       More information regarding the error that occurred can be found in the full request
-       exception details, which are in the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box logs.
-
-Solution:
-    .. warning::
-       Consult with your system or network administrator should this issue arise. This error code
-       depends on the network infrastructure and goes beyond Odoo support's service scope.
-
-`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_STATUS`
------------------------------------
-
-Reason:
-    The IoT-box was able to reach `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ but received an unusual
-    `HTTP response (status codes)
-    <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status>`_.
-
-    This error code will also give the HTTP response status codes. For example, if the error reads
-    `ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_STATUS 404` it means that the page returned a 404 error, which is
-    the "Page Not Found" code.
-
-Solution:
-    Check if `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ is down using a web browser, as it's possible that it is down
-    due to maintenance.
-
-     - If `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ is down due to maintenance, unfortunately there is nothing that
-       can be done but instead wait for it to recover.
-     - If `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ is not down due to maintenance, open a `support ticket
-       <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ on the matter. Ensure that the 3 digits status code next to the
-       code error is included in the support ticket.
-
-`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_NO_RESULT`
---------------------------------------
-
-Reason:
-    The :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box was able to reach `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ but it
-    refused to deliver the :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate.
-
-Solution:
-    Ensure that the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box and database are eligible for a
-    certificate: :ref:`Internet of Things (IoT) eligibility <iot/iot-eligibility>`.
-
-How to ensure that the HTTPS certificate is correct
-===================================================
-
-If the certificate has been applied successfully, a new :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol
-Secure)` :abbr:`URL (Uniform Resource Locator)` for the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box ending
-with `.odoo-iot.com` will appear on the Odoo database, inside of the :menuselection:`IoT`
-application on that specific device's form.

-If the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box can be accessed from its :abbr:`IP (Intrernet Protocol)`
-address but not the Odoo assigned domain: `.odoo-iot.com`; then the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
-box is likely running into a :abbr:`DNS (Domain Name System)` issue. On some browsers, it will give

-Domain Name System (DNS) issue solution
----------------------------------------
-
-#. Should the router allow the :abbr:`DNS (Domain Name System)` to be manually changed, change the
-   DNS to use `Google DNS <https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns>`_.
-#. If your router doesn't allow for this, then a change will need to be made on the :abbr:`DNS
-   (Domain Name System)` settings of each of the devices using `Google DNS
-   <https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns>`_. This will need to occur on **every** device
-   that plans to interact with the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box (e.g. computer, tablet or
-   phone). The individual device configuration processes can be found on the website of the
-   device's manufacturer.
-
-   .. note::
-      Other :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` devices such as payment terminals likely won't need
-      their :abbr:`DNS (Domain Name System)` settings changed as they are already configured with
-      custom :abbr:`DNS (Domain Name System)`.

-IoT box connection
-==================
-
-Unable to locate the pairing code to connect the IoT box
---------------------------------------------------------
-
-The pairing code should be printed on receipt printers connected to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
-Things)` box and should also be displayed on connected monitors.
-
-The pairing code does not show under the following circumstances:
-
-- The :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box is already connected to an Odoo database.
-- The :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box is not connected to the Internet.
-- The code is only valid for 5 minutes after the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box has started.
-  It is automatically removed from connected displays when this time has expired.
-- The version of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box image is too old. If the :abbr:`IoT
-  (Internet of Things)` box image is from an earlier version, then the SD card of the :abbr:`IoT
-  (Internet of Things)` box needs to be re-flashed to update the image (see :ref:`Flashing the SD
-  Card <iot/config/flash>`).
-
-If none of the cases listed above correct the issue, then make sure the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
-Things)` box has correctly started, by checking that a fixed green LED is showing next to the power
-port.
-
-IoT box is connected but it is not showing in the database
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-When an :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box connects to a database, it may restart. If so, it can
-take up to five minutes before appearing in the database. If the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
-box is still not showing after five minutes, make sure that the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box
-can reach the database and that the server does not use a multi-database environment.
-
-To access the database from the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, open a browser and type in the
-database address.
-
-The IoT box is connected to the Odoo database, but cannot be reached
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Make sure that the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box and the computer running the browser are
-located on the same network, as the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box cannot be reached from
-outside the local network.
-
-The HTTPS certificate does not generate
----------------------------------------
-
-In order to generate a :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate, an IoT box
-subscription is required for the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box. Connecting the :abbr:`IoT
-(Internet of Things)` box prior to configuring an :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` subscription for
-the database and :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box with the Account Manager will result in an
-unsecured connection.
-
-In addition, a firewall can also prevent the :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)`
-certificate from generating correctly. In this case, deactivate the firewall until the certificate
-is successfully generated. It should also be noted that certain devices, such as a router that has
-a built-in firewall, can prevent the :abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` certificate
-from generating.

-Printer
-=======
-
-The printer is not detected
----------------------------
-
-If a printer does not appear in the devices list, go to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box
-homepage and make sure that it is listed under :guilabel:`Printers`.
-
-.. image:: troubleshooting/printer-status.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: The IoT box Home Page landing page.
-
-If the printer is not present on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage, click
-:guilabel:`Printers Server`, go to the :guilabel:`Administration` tab and click on :guilabel:`Add
-Printer`. If the printer is not present in the list, it is likely not connected properly.
-
-The printer outputs random text
--------------------------------
-
-For most printers, the correct driver should be automatically detected and selected. However, in
-some cases, the automatic detection mechanism might not be enough, and if no driver is found, the
-printer might print random characters.
-
-The solution is to manually select the corresponding driver. On the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
-box homepage, click on :guilabel:`Printers Server`, go to the :guilabel:`Printers` tab and select
-the printer in the list. In the :guilabel:`Administration` drop-down menu, click on
-:guilabel:`Modify Printer`. Follow the steps and select the *make* and *model* corresponding to the
-printer.
-

-
-Epson configuration special case
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Most Epson printers support printing receipts in Odoo :abbr:`POS (Point of Sale)` using the `GS v 0`
-command. However, the following Epson printer models do not support this command:
-
-- TM-U220
-- TM-U230
-- TM-P60
-- TMP-P60II
-
-Bypass this issue by configuring the printer to use the `ESC *` command instead.
-
-Process to force ESC * command
-******************************
-
-Epson printer compatibility
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The first step is to check whether the printer is incompatible with `GS v 0` command.
-
-.. seealso::
-
-   - `Epson GS v 0 documentation <https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?
-     content_id=94>`_ for `GS v 0` compatible printers.
-   - `Epson ESC * documentation <https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php
-     ?content_id=88>`_ for `ESC *` compatible printers.
-
-If the printer is not compatible with the `ESC *` command then the following process is not
-possible. Should the printer be compatible to use the `ESC *` command to print, follow this process
-to configure the printer with the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-
-IoT box configuration for ESC *
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To configure the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box to use the `ESC *` command to print, go to the
-:abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage by navigating to :menuselection:`IoT app --> IoT
-Boxes`. Then click on the :guilabel:`IP address` and this will direct to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of
-Things)` box homepage.
-
-**Choosing the printer**
-
-Now click on the :guilabel:`Printers server` button. This will redirect the browser to the *CUPS*
-page. Next, go to :menuselection:`Administration --> Printers --> Add Printer`, choose the printer
-that should be modified, and then click :guilabel:`Continue`.
-
-.. tip::
-   If the name of the printer is still uncertain, take the following steps:
-
-   #. Take note of the listed printers on the *CUPS* page.
-   #. Turn the printer off and refresh the page.
-   #. Now compare the difference with the first list to see which printer disappeared.
-   #. Turn the printer back on and refresh the page again.
-   #. Double-check the list again to see if the printer re-appears.
-   #. The printer that disappeared and reappears again on the listed printers is the name of the
-      printer in question.
-
-   .. note::
-      This can be :guilabel:`Unknown` under :guilabel:`Local printers`.
-
-**CUPS naming convention**
-
-`CUPS` will prompt the administrator for three pieces of information: the :guilabel:`Name`,
-:guilabel:`Description` and the :guilabel:`Location`. The last two pieces of information do not need
-to be specific, however, the :guilabel:`Name` should follow a particular convention to work with the
-`ESC *` command.
-
-The :guilabel:`Name` should match this convention:
-`<printer_name>__IMC_<param_1>_<param_2>_..._<param_n>__`
-
-A breakdown of the naming convention:
-
-- `printer_name`: This is the printer name. It can be any character as long as it does not contain
-  `_`, `/`, `#`, or ` ` (space character).
-- `IMC`: This stands for *Image Mode Column* (the simplified name for `ESC *`).
-- `param_1`: This stands for the specific parameter:
-
-  - `SCALE<X>`: Scale of the picture (with the same aspect ratio). `X` should be an integer
-    describing the scale percentage that should be used.
-
-    .. example::
-       `100` is the original size, `50` is half the size, `200` is twice the size.
-
-  - `LDV`: *Low Density Vertical* (will be set to *High Density Vertical* if not specified).
-  - `LDH`: *Low Density Horizontal* (will be set to *High Density Horizontal* if not specified).
-
-    .. note::
-       *Density* parameters might need to be configured in a particular way depending on the printer
-       model.
-
-.. seealso::
-   Visit `Epson's ESC * documentation
-   <https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?content_id=88>`_ and click on the
-   printer model printer in the table above to see if the printer should set these parameters.
-
-.. example::
-   The following are examples of proper and improper name formatting:
-
-   Proper name formatting:
-
-   - `EPSONTMm30II__IMC__`
-   - `EPSON_TM_U220__IMC_LDV_LDH_SCALE80__`
-
-   Improper name formatting (this will not prevent printing, but the result might not have the
-   expected printed output):
-
-   - `EPSON TMm 30II` -> The name cannot have spaces.
-   - `EPSONTMm30II` -> The name itself is correct, but it will not use `ESC *`.
-   - `EPSONTMm30II__IMC` -> This name is missing the end `__`.
-   - `EPSONTMm30II__IMC_XDV__` -> The parameter `XDV` does not match any existing parameters.
-   - `EPSONTMm30II__IMC_SCALE__` -> The parameter `SCALE` is missing the scale value.
-
-**Finish adding a printer**
-
-After setting the name of the printer with the appropriate naming convention, click
-:guilabel:`Continue`. Next, set the :guilabel:`Make` value to :guilabel:`Raw` and for the
-:guilabel:`Model` value, set this to :guilabel:`Raw Queue (en)`.
-
-After completing these steps, click :guilabel:`Add Printer`. If everything was done correctly, the
-page should redirect to the *Banners* page.
-
-At this point the printer should have been created, now the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box
-just needs to detect it and then sync to Odoo's server (this could take a few minutes).
-
-**Adding the printer to Odoo PoS**
-
-Once the printer is visible on the Odoo database, do not forget to choose it in the :abbr:`PoS
-(Point of Sale)`configuration as the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` printer. Navigate to
-:menuselection:`Pos App --> Settings --> Connected Devices --> IoT Box --> Receipt Printer -->
-Save`.
-
-.. note::
-   If the printer was set up incorrectly (it is still printing random text or the printed receipt is
-   too big or small), then it cannot be modified via the printer name with *CUPS*. Instead, the
-   above process can be repeated to set up another printer from scratch to create one with modified
-   parameters.
-
-**Example setup of the Epson TM-U220B printer using ESC**
-
-.. spoiler::
-   Click this text to reveal the example
-
-   The following is an example of the troubleshooting process for a TM-U220B printer model using the
-   `ESC *` command. The receipt pictured below is an example of a receipt that is printing correctly
-   due to proper formatting (in theory):
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/receipt-example.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Properly formatted receipt picture from a demo database.
-
-   Trying to print this receipt right-away prior to the proper formatting will not work as the
-   TM-U220B printer model does not support `GS v 0`. Instead random characters will print:
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/receipt-print-random-letters.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Printer paper with seemingly random characters.
-
-   To properly configure formatting for the Epson TM-U220B printer model take the following steps.
-
-   After consulting Epson's website for compatibility for both of the commands: `GS v 0
-   <https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?content_id=94>`_ and `ESC *
-   <https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?content_id=88>`_, it can be seen
-   that indeed the TM-U220B is not compatible with `GS v 0`, but is compatible with `ESC *`.
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/epson-compatibility-compare.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Epson compatibility evaluation from Epson website.
-
-   When adding the printer, *CUPS* will ask which printer should be added:
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/add-printer.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Administration menu, add printer selection.
-
-   In this case, the printer is connected via :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` so it won' be part
-   of the :guilabel:`Discovered Network Printers`. Instead it is likely part of the
-   :guilabel:`Unknown` selection under :guilabel:`Local Printers`. By unplugging the printer's
-   :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` cable from the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box and
-   refreshing the page, the :guilabel:`Unknown` printer disappears. By plugging it back in, the
-   printer reappears, so it can be said that this is the printer in question.
-
-   For the naming convention, since it needs to print using the `ESC *` command, it is imperative to
-   add `__IMC`. Reference the printer model on `Epson's ESC * site
-   <https://reference.epson-biz.com/modules/ref_escpos/index.php?content_id=88>`_ to find out more
-   about the *density* parameters.
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/epson-tm-u220-specification.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Epson TM-U220 specifications on manufacturer's website.
-
-   For this particular model, TM-U220, `m` should be equal to 0 or 1. While referencing the
-   :guilabel:`Description` below the pink box in the above picture, the `m` values could be 0, 1, 32
-   or 33. So in this printers case, the `m` value can NOT be 32 or 33 (otherwise there will be
-   random characters printed).
-
-   The table includes the numeric values: 32 and 33, they both occur if the :guilabel:`Number of
-   bits for vertical data` is set to 24. This means that is a *High Vertical Density*. In the case
-   of configuring the Epson TM-U220, the *Low Vertical Density* will need to be forced, as this
-   printer model does not support *High Vertical Density* for this command `ESC *`.
-
-   To add a *Low Vertical Density*, add the `LDV` parameter to the naming convention.
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/add-printer-filled.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Add a *Low Vertical Density* (the `LDV` parameter) to the naming convention.
-
-   Click :guilabel:`Continue` to proceed. Next, set the :guilabel:`Make` value to :guilabel:`Raw`
-   and for the :guilabel:`Model` value, set this to :guilabel:`Raw Queue (en)`.
-
-   .. image:: troubleshooting/add-printer-add.png
-      :align: center
-      :alt: Epson TM-U220 specifications on manufacturers website.
-
-   However, when trying to print with the naming convention: `EpsonTMU220B__IMC_LDV__`, it prints
-   the receipt, but it is too big and outside the margin. To resolve this, add a new printer (and
-   naming convention) with the `SCALE<X>` parameter to adapt to our receipt size.
-
-   Here are some examples:

-DYMO LabelWriter print issue
-----------------------------
-
-The DYMO LabelWriter has a known issue in printing with the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-The OpenPrinting CUPS server installs the printer using :guilabel:`Local RAW Printer` drivers. In
-order to print anything, the correct :guilabel:`Make and Model` needs to be set, so the correct
-driver is referenced when using the device.
-
-Additionally, a new printer needs to be added to reduce a print delay that occurs after updating the
-driver.
-
-.. important::
-   The DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO printer is the recommended DYMO printer for use with Odoo and the
-   :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box. It **must** already be connected to, and recognized on, the
-   :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-
-   The DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO printer contains two printers in one: a label printer and a tape
-   printer. Choosing the correct model (either DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO Label (en) or DYMO
-   LabelWriter 450 DUO Tape (en)) is crucial when configuring the following processes.
-
-   To keep things consistent, both of the following processes detail the configuration for the DYMO
-   LabelWriter 450 DUO Label (en) model. Change the model when needed.
-
-.. _troubleshooting/dymo/update_drivers:
-
-DYMO LabelWriter not printing
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-In the case where the DYMO LabelWriter is not printing anything, a new driver needs to be installed.
-
-First, open the OpenPrinting CUPS console by clicking :menuselection:`Printers server` at the bottom
-of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage. Next, click on :menuselection:`Printers` in

-Barcode scanner
-===============
-
-The characters read by the barcode scanner do not match the barcode
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-By default, most barcode scanners are configured in the US QWERTY format. If the barcode scanner
-uses a different layout, go to the form view of the device (:menuselection:`IoT App --> Devices -->
-Barcode Device`) and select the correct format.
-
-Nothing happens when a barcode is scanned
------------------------------------------
-
-Make sure that the correct device is selected in the :menuselection:`Point of Sale` configuration
-and that the barcode is configured to send an `ENTER` character (keycode 28) at the end of every
-barcode. To do so, navigate to :menuselection:`PoS app --> 3-Dot Menu on the PoS --> IoT Box section
---> Edit`.
-
-The barcode scanner is detected as a keyboard
----------------------------------------------
-
-.. important::
-   Some barcode scanners do not advertise themselves as barcode scanners but as a USB keyboard
-   instead, and will not be recognized by the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box.
-
-The device type can be manually changed by going to its form view (:menuselection:`IoT App -->
-Devices --> Barcode Device`) and activating the :guilabel:`Is scanner` option.
-
-.. image:: troubleshooting/barcode-scanner-settings.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Modifying the form view of the barcode scanner.
-
-Barcode scanner processes barcode characters individually
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-When accessing the mobile version of Odoo from a mobile device, or tablet, paired with a barcode
-scanner, via the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, the scanner may process each barcode
-character as an individual scan. In this case, the *Keyboard Layout* option **must** be filled out
-with the appropriate language of the barcode scanner on the *Barcode Scanner* form page.
-
-.. tip::
-   Access the barcode scanner form page by navigating to :menuselection:`IoT App --> Devices -->
-   Barcode Scanner`.
-
-.. image:: troubleshooting/keyboard-layout.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Barcode scanner form page, with keyboard layout option highlighted.
-
-The :guilabel:`Keyboard Layout` is language based, and the options available vary, depending on the
-device and the language of the database. For example: :guilabel:`English (UK)`, :guilabel:`English
-(US)`, etc.
-
-Cash drawer
-===========
-
-The cash drawer does not open
------------------------------
-
-The cash drawer should be connected to the printer and the :guilabel:`Cash drawer` checkbox should
-be ticked in the :abbr:`PoS (Point of Sale)` configuration. To do so, navigate to
-:menuselection:`POS app --> 3-Dot Menu on the POS --> IoT Box section --> Edit --> Receipt Printer
---> Cashdrawer checkbox`.
-
-Scale
-=====
-
-Scales play a crucial role in the checkout process, especially for products sold by weight, rather
-than fixed pricing.
-
-Set up Ariva S scales
----------------------
-
-Odoo has determined that a specific setting in Ariva S series scales (manufactured by
-Mettler-Toledo, LLC.) needs modification, and a dedicated Mettler :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial
-Bus)`-to-proprietary RJ45 cable is required for the scale to function with Odoo's :abbr:`IoT
-(Internet of Things)` box.
-
-To correctly configure the scale for recognition by the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, follow
-this setup process for the Ariva S series scales.
-
-.. important::
-   It is crucial to use the official Mettler :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)`-to-RJ45 cable during
-   this process.
-
-Cable
-~~~~~
-
-The Mettler part number is 72256236 - :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)`-to-:abbr:`POS (Point of
-Sale)` cable. Contact Mettler, or a partner, to purchase an authentic cable. Note that **no other**
-cable outside of this Mettler cable works for this configuration. Using a serial-only cable attached
-to a serial-to-:abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` adapter is **not** effective.
-
-.. image:: troubleshooting/cable-mettler.png
-   :align: center
-   :alt: Authentic Mettler USB to POS cable, part number 72256236.
-
-Setup
-~~~~~
-
-Refer to Mettler's Setup Guide for Ariva S series scales during the following configuration: `Ariva
-Checkout Scale User's Guide <https://www.mt.com/dam/RET_DOCS/Ariv.pdf>`_.
-
-To begin, go to page 17 in the above manual for *Setup*. This guide lists potential settings for the
-Ariva S series scales.
-
-Follow the instructions, along with the following process, to set the scale to setup mode. First,
-hold the **>T<** button for eight seconds, or until :guilabel:`CONF` appears.
-
-Next, press **>T<** until :guilabel:`GRP 3` appears, then press **>0<** to confirm.
-
-Under :guilabel:`3.1`, ensure the setting is set to :guilabel:`1` (USB Virtual COM ports). Press
-**>T<** to cycle through the options under group 3.1.
-
-Once :guilabel:`3.1` is set to :guilabel:`1`, press **>0<** to confirm the selection. Continue to
-press **>0<** until :guilabel:`GRP 4` appears.
-
-Now, press **>T<** until :guilabel:`EXIT` appears.
-
-.. important::
-   Do **not** make any other changes unless otherwise needed.
-
-Once :guilabel:`EXIT` appears, press **>0<**. Following this, press **>0<** again to
-:guilabel:`SAVE`. Now the scale restarts.
-
-Finally, restart the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box to recognize the changes made on the
-scale's configuration. After restarting, the scale appears as `Toledo 8217`, as opposed to the
-previous display, where it appeared as `Adam Equipment Serial`.

-Updating (IoT)
-==============
-
-Due to the complexity of the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, and virtual Windows :abbr:`IoT
-(Internet of Things)` box, the term 'updating' can mean several different things.
-
-The actual drivers can be updated, the core code on the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box can be
-updated, or a new image can be flashed (using a physical :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box).
-
-This document explores the various ways to update :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` boxes to ensure

-Flashing the SD card on IoT box
-===============================
-
-.. important::
-   This update does **not** apply to the Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box (Odoo 16 and
-   higher).
-
-   To update the Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`, first, uninstall the previous version of
-   the Odoo Windows program, and then reinstall it using the most up-to-date installation package.
-
-   To begin the installation, navigate to the Odoo 16 (or higher) installation package for
-   Enterprise or Community - Windows edition, at `Odoo's download page
-   <https://odoo.com/download>`_.
-
-In some circumstances, the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's micro SD Card may need to be
-re-flashed with *Etcher* software to benefit from Odoo's latest :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
-image update. This means the Odoo :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box software may need to be
-updated in instances of a new :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, or when a handler's update, or
-an update from the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box home page, does not resolve issues.
-
-
-.. note::
-   - It is often necessary to re-flash the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's image after
-     upgrading the Odoo database to a new version.
-   - A computer with a micro SD card reader/adapter is **required** to re-flash the micro SD card.
-
-First, begin by downloading `Etcher <https://www.balena.io/etcher#download-etcher>`_. It is a free,
-open-source utility, used for burning image files onto drives. After the download completes, install
-and launch the program on the computer.
-
-Then, download the latest :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` image from `nightly
-<http://nightly.odoo.com/master/iotbox>`_, which will be labeled as `iotbox-latest.zip`. This
-particular image is compatible with *all* supported versions of Odoo.
-
-After this step is complete, insert the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box's micro SD card into
-the computer or reader. Open *Etcher*, and select :guilabel:`Flash from file`, then find and select
-the `iotbox-latest.zip` image and extract it. Next, select the drive the image should be burned to.
-
-Lastly, click :guilabel:`Flash`, and wait for the process to finish.

-Connect Windows IoT Odoo
-========================
-
-A Virtual IoT box is a computer program that needs to be downloaded and installed on a Windows
-computer. This requires a Windows operating system with an Odoo 16 or later database.
-
-The Windows virtual :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box works the same way as a physical :abbr:`IoT
-(Internet of Things)` box, with the ability to run most of the same devices. All :abbr:`POS (Point
-of Sale)` devices work with it, such as a scale or printer. Payment terminals will also work, but it
-should be noted that :abbr:`MRP (Material Requirement Planning)` devices are not compatible. *These
-include cameras or measurement tools.*
-
-Pre-requisites
-==============
-
-The following items will be needed to complete the Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
-installation.
-
-- Odoo 16 database or any version above.
-- :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` compatible devices (except those mentioned above). Refer to:
-  `Odoo's compatible IoT devices <https://www.odoo.com/app/iot-hardware>`_.
-- Device drivers for Windows.
-
-  .. note::
-     Odoo recommends using an updated, recent version of Windows (Windows 10/11) as some older
-     operating systems can cause the Windows virtual :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` to not work.
-
-- Windows computer (laptop, desktop, or server).
-- Odoo :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` subscription. Refer to: :ref:`iot/iot-eligibility`.
-
-Connect the Windows virtual IoT box to an Odoo database
-=======================================================
-
-The Windows virtual IoT box is simple to setup in just a few easy steps. Follow this process when
-installing the Windows virtual IoT software for the first time.
-
-Download and initial installation
----------------------------------
-
-To begin the installation, navigate to the Odoo 16 or higher installation package for Community -
-Windows edition at `Odoo's download page <https://odoo.com/download>`_. Next, install and setup the

-   the hard drive.
-
-.. warning::
-   Odoo's Windows virtual IoT software should not be installed inside any of the Window's User's
-   directories. Doing so will not allow for Nginx to initialize.
-
-The installation may take a few minutes. When complete, click :guilabel:`Next` to continue.
-
-Ensure that the :guilabel:`Start Odoo` box is checked and click :guilabel:`Finish`. After
-installation, the Odoo server will run and automatically open `http://localhost:8069` on a web
-browser. The webpage should display the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box homepage.
-
-.. seealso::
-   A restart of the Windows IoT program may be necessary should the web browser not display
-   anything. :ref:`iot/restart_windows_iot`
-
-Connecting devices
-------------------
-
-Next, connect the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` devices to the Windows computer. Windows should
-automatically detect the device because the driver is pre-installed on the computer. If not, search
-for and install the Windows driver for the device.
-
-.. important::
-   Most devices connect to the Windows Machine for Windows IoT automatically through Windows
-   Plug-N-Play (PnP). However, if Windows does not automatically recognize the device after
-   connecting, then the administrator may need to install the corresponding drivers manually.
-
-   Devices automatically recognized:
-
-   - Regular ink/toner based printers
-   - Receipt printers (Epson/Star)
-   - Barcode scanners
-   - Measurement devices (although some configuration of the measurement device settings is
-     required) See this documentation: :doc:`../devices/measurement_tool`
-
-   Devices not automatically recognized (requires manual driver download):
-
-   - Label printers (Zebra)
-   - Scales
-
-   Reference the manufacturer's website for the equipment in question. Then, download the drivers
-   and install them on the Windows machine. Reconnect the device in question and Windows will find
-   the device.
-
-Following connecting devices to the computer, refresh the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box
-homepage and verify the device is seen. If not, reload the handlers through the :abbr:`IoT (Internet
-of Things)` box homepage.
-
-Finally, connect Windows :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` to a database using existing instructions
-(manually using the Token).
-
-.. seealso::
-   :doc:`/applications/general/iot/config/connect`
-
-Now the installation is complete, the devices connected to :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` can be
-used to complete processes/actions.
-
-Troubleshooting
-===============
-
-.. _iot/restart_windows_iot:
-
-Restart Windows IoT box
------------------------
-
-In some instances a manual restart of the physical :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box can resolve
-the issue of an :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box not showing up on the database. For the Windows
-virtual :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box a manual restart of the Odoo server can resolve
-database connection issues.
-
-To restart the virtual Windows IoT server:
-
-#. Type `Services` into the Windows :guilabel:`Search Bar`.
-#. Select the :menuselection:`Services` App and scroll down to the :guilabel:`Odoo` service.
-#. Right click on :guilabel:`Odoo` and select :guilabel:`Start` or :guilabel:`Restart`. This action
-   will manually restart the Odoo IoT server.
-
-Firewalls
----------
-
-Firewalls keep devices safe and secure. Sometimes they can block connections that should be made
-though. The Windows virtual :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box software may not be reachable to
-the :abbr:`LAN (Local Area Network)` due to a firewall preventing the connection. Consult your local
-IT support team to make exceptions (network discovery) in the :abbr:`OS (Operating System)` or
-firewall program. Windows has their own firewall as do other virus protection programs.
-
-.. example::
-   A client might encounter a time when they are able to reach the homepage of the :abbr:`IoT
-   (Internet of Things)` box, yet they cannot access it from another computer/mobile device/tablet
-   on the same network.
-
-Making an exception on Windows Defender
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-It is possible to allow other devices to access the Windows virtual :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)`
-box while keeping the firewall on. This is done by creating a rule on *Windows Defender* and
-allowing communication through port `8069`. The following process describes the steps to take in
-order to make this exception.
-
-Create a rule in Windows Defender
-*********************************
-
-First, open the *Windows Firewall* by navigating to the :menuselection:`Start Menu` and typing in
-`Firewall`. Then, open the :menuselection:`Windows Defender Firewall` program. In the left-hand
-menu, navigate to :guilabel:`Advanced Settings`.
-
-Once :guilabel:`Advanced Settings` have been selected, click :guilabel:`Inbound Rules` in the
-left-hand menu. Then, in the right-hand menu column (under :guilabel:`Inbound Rules`), click on
-:guilabel:`New Rule` to create a new rule.
-
-Configure new rule
-******************
-
-On the :menuselection:`Rule Type` screen, select :guilabel:`Port`. Then click :guilabel:`Next`. From
-the :menuselection:`Protocol and Ports` page leave the rule application to :guilabel:`TCP`. Then,
-select :guilabel:`Specific Local Ports` for the :guilabel:`ports` option. In the text box, type in

+IoT system connection to Odoo
+=============================
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+To connect the IoT system to an Odoo database, the following prerequisites must be met:
+
+- The Internet of Things (IoT) app must be :ref:`installed <general/install>`.
+- The IoT system must be connected to the network.
+- The computer connecting to Odoo must be on the same network as the IoT system.
+
+.. note::
+   It is recommended to connect the IoT system to a **production** instance, as other types of
+   environments may cause issues (e.g., with :ref:`HTTPS certificate generation
+   <iot/https_certificate_iot/iot-eligibility>`).
+
+.. seealso::

+   - :doc:`windows_iot`
+
+Connection
+==========
+
+The IoT system can be connected to the Odoo database using a :ref:`pairing code
+<iot/connect/pairing-code>` or a :ref:`connection token <iot/connect/token>`.
+
+.. _iot/connect/pairing-code:

+
+Epson configuration special case
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Most Epson printers support printing receipts in Odoo Point of Sale using the `GS v 0` command.
+However, the following Epson printer models do not support this command:
+
+- TM-U220
+- TM-U230
+- TM-P60
+- TMP-P60II
+
+To bypass this issue, you can configure the printer to use the `ESC *` command.
+
+First, review Epson's website for compatibility for both the `GS v 0
+<https://download4.epson.biz/sec_pubs/pos/reference_en/escpos/gs_lv_0.html>`_ and `ESC *
+<https://download4.epson.biz/sec_pubs/pos/reference_en/escpos/esc_asterisk.html>`_ commands.
+
+If the printer is incompatible with `GS v 0` but supports `ESC *`, configure the IoT system to use
+the `ESC *` command as follows:
+
+#. Access the :ref:`IoT box's <iot/iot-box/homepage>` or :ref:`Windows virtual IoT's
+   <iot/windows-iot/homepage>` homepage.
+#. Click the :guilabel:`Printer server` button, then click :guilabel:`Administration` on the CUPS
+   page.
+#. Click :guilabel:`Add Printer` in the :guilabel:`Printers` section, select the printer, and click
+   :guilabel:`Continue`.
+
+   .. tip::
+      If the printer's name is still uncertain, take the following steps:
+
+      #. Take note of the listed printers on the CUPS page.
+      #. Turn the printer off and refresh the page.
+      #. Compare the difference with the first list to see which printer disappeared.
+      #. Turn the printer back on and refresh the page again.
+      #. Double-check the list again to see if the printer re-appears.
+      #. The printer that disappeared and reappears again on the listed printers is the name of the
+         printer in question. It can be :guilabel:`Unknown` under :guilabel:`Local printers`.
+
+#. On the :guilabel:`Add Printer` page, specify the printer's :guilabel:`Name` using the following
+   convention: `<printer_name>__IMC_<param_1>_<param_2>_..._<param_n>__`, where:
+
+   - `printer_name` is the printer's name. It can contain any character except `_`, `/`, `#`, or ` `
+     (space character).
+   - `IMC`: This stands for *Image Mode Column* (the simplified name for `ESC *`).
+   - `param_1`: This stands for the specific parameter:
+
+     - `SCALE<X>`: Scale of the picture (with the same aspect ratio). `X` should be an integer
+       describing the scale percentage that should be used. For example, `100` is the original size,
+       `50` is half the size, and `200` is twice the size.
+     - `LDV`: *Low Density Vertical* (will be set to *High Density Vertical* if not specified).
+     - `LDH`: *Low Density Horizontal* (will be set to *High Density Horizontal* if not specified).
+
+     .. note::
+        - *Density* parameters might need to be configured in a particular way, depending on the
+          printer model.
+        - Refer to `Epson's ESC * documentation <https://download4.epson.biz/sec_pubs/pos/reference_en/escpos/esc_asterisk.html>`_
+          to determine if the printer requires these parameters to be set.
+
+    .. example::
+       The following are examples of proper and improper name formatting:
+
+       Proper name formatting:
+
+       - `EPSONTMm30II__IMC__`
+       - `EPSON_TM_U220__IMC_LDV_LDH_SCALE80__`
+
+       Improper name formatting (this will not prevent printing, but the result might not have the
+       expected printed output):

+   Example
+
+   The following is an example of the troubleshooting process for a TM-U220B printer model using the
+   `ESC *` command. The receipt pictured below is an example of a receipt that is printing correctly
+   due to proper formatting (in theory):
+
+   .. image:: printer/receipt-example.png
+      :scale: 60%
+      :alt: Properly formatted receipt picture from a demo database.
+
+   Printing this receipt immediately without proper formatting will not work, as the TM-U220B
+   printer model does not support the `GS v 0` command. Instead, random characters will be printed:
+
+   .. image:: printer/receipt-print-random-letters.png
+      :scale: 60%
+      :alt: Printer paper with seemingly random characters.
+
+   To properly configure formatting for the Epson TM-U220B printer model, follow these steps:
+
+   #. After checking Epson's website for compatibility with both the `GS v 0
+      <https://download4.epson.biz/sec_pubs/pos/reference_en/escpos/gs_lv_0.html>`_ and `ESC *
+      <https://download4.epson.biz/sec_pubs/pos/reference_en/escpos/esc_asterisk.html>`_ commands,
+      the TM-U220B printer is indeed incompatible with `GS v 0` but supports `ESC *`.
+
+      .. image:: printer/epson-compatibility-compare.png
+         :alt: Epson compatibility evaluation from Epson website.
+
+   #. When adding the printer, CUPS displays the list of available printers:
+
+      .. image:: printer/add-printer.png
+         :scale: 75%
+         :alt: Administration menu, add printer selection.
+
+      In this case, the printer is connected via USB, so it is not part of the
+      :guilabel:`Discovered Network Printers`. Instead, it is likely part of the :guilabel:`Unknown`
+      selection under :guilabel:`Local Printers`. By unplugging the printer's USB cable from the IoT
+      system and refreshing the page, the :guilabel:`Unknown` printer disappears. By plugging it
+      back in, the printer reappears.
+
+   #. For the naming convention, since the printer must print using the `ESC *` command, it is
+      imperative to add `__IMC`.
+
+      .. image:: printer/epson-tm-u220-specification.png
+         :alt: Epson TM-U220 specifications on manufacturer's website.
+
+      For this particular model (TM-U220) `m` should be equal to 0 or 1. While referencing the
+      :guilabel:`Description` table on `Epson's ESC * website
+      <https://download4.epson.biz/sec_pubs/pos/reference_en/escpos/esc_asterisk.html>`_, the `m`
+      values could be 0, 1, 32, or 33. So, in this case, the `m` value **cannot** be 32 or 33
+      (otherwise, random characters will be printed).
+
+      The table includes the numeric values 32 and 33; they both occur if the :guilabel:`Number of
+      bits for vertical data` is set to 24, i.e. it has a *High Vertical Density*. In the case of
+      configuring the Epson TM-U220, the *Low Vertical Density* will need to be forced, as
+      this printer model does not support *High Vertical Density* for this command `ESC *`.
+
+      To add a *Low Vertical Density*, add the `LDV` parameter to the naming convention.
+
+      .. image:: printer/add-printer-filled.png
+         :alt: Add a *Low Vertical Density* (the `LDV` parameter) to the naming convention.
+
+   #. Click :guilabel:`Continue` to proceed. Next, set the :guilabel:`Make` value to :guilabel:`Raw`
+      and the :guilabel:`Model` value to :guilabel:`Raw Queue (en)`.
+
+      .. image:: printer/add-printer-add.png
+         :alt: Epson TM-U220 specifications on manufacturers website.
+
+      However, when trying to print with the naming convention `EpsonTMU220B__IMC_LDV__`, the
+      receipt is printed, but it is too large and outside the margin. To resolve this, add a new
+      printer (and naming convention) with the `SCALE<X>` parameter to adapt to the receipt's size.
+
+      Here are some examples:

+DYMO LabelWriter print issue
+----------------------------
+
+The DYMO LabelWriter has a known issue in printing with IoT systems. The OpenPrinting CUPS server
+installs the printer using :guilabel:`Local RAW Printer` drivers. In order to print anything, the
+correct :guilabel:`Make and Model` needs to be set to reference the correct driver when using the
+device.
+
+Additionally, a new printer needs to be added to reduce the print delay that occurs after updating
+the driver.
+
+.. important::
+   The DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO printer is the recommended DYMO printer for use with Odoo and IoT
+   systems. This device combines two printers: a label printer and a tape printer. When configuring
+   the following processes, it is essential to select the correct model (either DYMO LabelWriter 450
+   DUO Label (en) or DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO Tape (en)). For consistency, the following processes
+   outline configuration steps for the DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO Label (en) model. Adjust the model
+   selections as needed.
+
+.. _printer/dymo/update_drivers:
+
+DYMO LabelWriter not printing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the DYMO LabelWriter fails to print, install a new driver:
+
+#. Access the IoT system's homepage and click :menuselection:`Printer server` to open the
+   OpenPrinting CUPS console.
+#. Click :menuselection:`Printers` in the top menu, then click the printer in the list.
+#. Select :guilabel:`Maintenance` in the first dropdown menu.
+#. Select :guilabel:`Modify Printer` in the second dropdown menu.
+
+   .. image:: printer/main-modify.png
+      :alt: Modify the make and model of the DYMO LabelWriter. Maintenance and Modify dropdown

+#. On the next page, click :guilabel:`Continue`, then select :guilabel:`DYMO` from the
+   :guilabel:`Make` dropdown list.
+#. Click on :guilabel:`Continue` and set the :guilabel:`Model` to :guilabel:`DYMO LabelWriter 450
+   DUO Label (en)` (or whichever DYMO printer model is being used).
+#. Click :guilabel:`Modify Printer` to set the new driver; a confirmation page appears.
+#. Click :menuselection:`Printers` in the top menu; all printers installed on the OpenPrinting CUPS
+   server appear, including the newly updated :guilabel:`DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO Label` (or
+   whichever DYMO printer model is being used).
+#. Click the newly updated printer, then click the :guilabel:`Maintenance` dropdown menu and
+   select :guilabel:`Print Test Page` to print a test label. The test label is printed after a few
+   seconds if the driver update was successful.
+
+To reduce this delay, add a new printer using the steps below.
+
+DYMO LabelWriter print delay
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. tip::
+   If the DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO printer is not printing at all, or is not recognized (i.e., it
+   has a :guilabel:`RAW` driver type), then :ref:`update the drivers on the device
+   <printer/dymo/update_drivers>`.
+
+To resolve the delay issue after modifying the driver, reinstall the printer:
+
+#. Access the IoT system's homepage and click :menuselection:`Printer server` to open the
+   OpenPrinting CUPS console.
+#. Click :menuselection:`Administration` in the top menu, then click :guilabel:`Add a Printer`.
+#. On the next page, in the :guilabel:`Local Printers` section, select :guilabel:`DYMO
+   LabelWriter 450 DUO Label (DYMO LabelWriter 450 DUO Label)` (or whichever DYMO printer model is
+   being used) pre-installed printer. Click :guilabel:`Continue`.

+
+The Zebra printer does not print anything
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Zebra printers are quite sensitive to the format of the printed Zebra Programming Language (ZPL)
+code. If nothing comes out of the printer or blank labels are printed, try changing the format
+of the report sent to the printer. To do so, activate the :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`, go
+to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> User Interface --> Views`, and search for the
+corresponding template.

+
+Barcode scanner issues
+======================
+
+The characters read by the barcode scanner do not match the barcode
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+By default, most barcode scanners are configured in the US QWERTY format. If the barcode scanner
+uses a different layout, go to :menuselection:`IoT --> Devices` and click the barcode device's card.
+Then, select the correct language in the :guilabel:`Keyboard Layout` field.
+
+.. note::
+   The :guilabel:`Keyboard Layout` is language-specific, with available options varying based on
+   the device and the language of the database (e.g., :guilabel:`English (UK)`, :guilabel:`English
+   (US)`, etc.).
+
+Nothing happens when a barcode is scanned
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Make sure the correct device is selected in the :doc:`Point of Sale settings
+</applications/sales/point_of_sale/configuration/pos_iot>` (when applicable) and the barcode is
+configured to send an `ENTER` character (keycode 28) at the end of every barcode.
+
+The barcode scanner is detected as a keyboard
+---------------------------------------------
+
+.. important::
+   Some barcode scanners are identified as USB keyboards rather than barcode scanners and are not
+   recognized by IoT systems.
+
+To change the device type manually, go to :menuselection:`IoT --> Devices` and click the barcode
+device's card. Then, enable :guilabel:`Is scanner`.
+
+The barcode scanner processes barcode characters individually
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When accessing the mobile version of Odoo from a mobile device or tablet paired with a barcode
+scanner via the IoT system, the scanner might interpret each character in a barcode as a separate
+scan. To resolve this, go to :menuselection:`IoT --> Devices` and click the barcode device's
+card. Then, select the correct language in the :guilabel:`Keyboard Layout` field.
+
+.. note::
+   The :guilabel:`Keyboard Layout` is language-specific, with available options varying based on
+   the device and the language of the database (e.g., :guilabel:`English (UK)`, :guilabel:`English

-==========
-
-To link the scale to the :abbr:`IoT (Internet of Things)` box, connect it with a :abbr:`USB
-(Universal Serial Bus)` cable.
+To connect a scale to the IoT system, use a USB cable. In some cases, you may need a serial-to-US

+HTTPS certificate (IoT)
+=======================
+
+*Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure* (HTTPS) is the secure and encrypted version of *Hypertext
+Transfer Protocol* (HTTP), which is the primary protocol used for data communication between a web
+browser and a website. It secures communications by using an encryption protocol known as *Transport
+Layer Security* (TLS), previously called *Secure Sockets Layer* (SSL). The security of
+:abbr:`HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure)` relies on :abbr:`TLS (Transport Layer Security)`
+/:abbr:`SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)` certificates, which authenticate the provider and verify their
+identity.
+
+The use of HTTPS is required to communicate with certain network devices, particularly payment
+terminals. If the HTTPS certificate is not valid, some devices cannot interact with the IoT
+system.
+
+.. note::
+   In this documentation and throughout Odoo, the term *HTTPS certificate*  refers to a valid
+   SSL certificate that allows an HTTPS connection.
+

+
+HTTPS certificate generation
+============================
+
+The HTTPS certificate is generated automatically. When the IoT system is (re-)started (e.g., after
+it is connected to the Odoo database), a request is sent to `<https://www.odoo.com>`_, which returns
+the HTTPS certificate if the IoT system and database meet the eligibility criteria:
+
+.. _iot/https_certificate_iot/iot-eligibility:
+
+- The database must be a **production** instance. The database instance should not be a copy, a
+  duplicate, a staging, or a development environment.
+- The Odoo subscription must be ongoing (:guilabel:`In Progress` status) and have an :ref:`IoT
+  box subscription <iot/iot/iot-subscription>` line.
+
+When the certificate has been received:
+
+- The IoT system's homepage address is updated to a new HTTPS URL ending with `.odoo-iot.com`. Click
+  the URL to establish a secure HTTPS connection.
+
+  .. image:: https_certificate_iot/iot-new-domain.png

+
+HTTPS certificate generation issues and errors
+==============================================
+
+The HTTPS certificate does not generate
+---------------------------------------
+
+Potential causes include the following:
+
+- No :ref:`IoT box subscription <iot/iot/iot-subscription>` is linked to your account.
+- The :ref:`IoT box subscription <iot/iot/iot-subscription>` was added *after* connecting the IoT
+  system to the database. In this case, refresh the IoT system's homepage or reboot/:ref:`restart
+  <iot/windows_iot/restart>` the IoT system to regenerate the HTTPS certificate.
+- The firewall is preventing the HTTPS certificate from generating correctly. In this case,
+  deactivate the firewall until the certificate is successfully generated.
+
+  .. note::
+     Some devices, such as routers with a built-in firewall, can prevent the HTTPS certificate from

+Errors
+------
+
+A specific error code is displayed on the IoT system's homepage if any issues occur during the
+generation or reception of the HTTPS certificate.
+
+.. tip::
+   When you access the IoT system's homepage, it automatically checks for an HTTPS certificate and
+   attempts to generate one if it is missing. If an error appears, refresh the page to see if the
+   issue is resolved.
+
+`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_CHECK_NO_SERVER`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The server configuration is missing, i.e., the Odoo instance is not :doc:`connected <../connect>` to
+the IoT system.
+
+`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_CHECK_CERT_READ_EXCEPTION`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+<iot/iot-box/homepage>` or :ref:`Windows virtual IoT's homepage <iot/windows-iot/homepage>`,
+click the :icon:`fa-cogs` (:guilabel:`cogs`) button, then click :guilabel:`Credential`.
+
+`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_EXCEPTION`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+An unexpected error occurred while the IoT system tried to reach `<https://www.odoo.com>`_. This is
+likely due to network-related issues, such as:
+
+- The IoT system does not have Internet access.
+- Network restrictions (e.g., firewalls or VPNs) are preventing communication with
+  https://www.odoo.com.
+
+.. note::
+   - To access the full request exception details with information regarding the error, :ref:`enable
+     the developer mode <developer-mode>`, click the IoT system's card in the IoT app, and click
+     :guilabel:`Download logs` on the :ref:`IoT system's form <iot/connect/IoT-form>`.

+     click the :icon:`fa-cogs` (:guilabel:`cogs`) button, then :guilabel:`Log level` at the
+     bottom of the page.
+   - To address network-related issues, contact your system or network administrator; these issues
+     are beyond the scope of Odoo support services.
+
+`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_STATUS`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The IoT system successfully reached `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ but received an unexpected
+`HTTP response (status codes) <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status>`_.
+
+This error code includes the HTTP status. For example, `ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_STATUS 404` means
+the server returned a "Page Not Found" response.
+
+To solve this issue:
+
+#. Open `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ in a web browser to check if the website is temporarily down for
+   maintenance.
+#. | If `<https://www.odoo.com>`_ is down for maintenance, wait for it to resume.
+   | If the website is operational, open a `support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_ and make
+     sure to include the 3-digit HTTPS status code in the ticket.
+
+`ERR_IOT_HTTPS_LOAD_REQUEST_NO_RESULT`
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The IoT system successfully connected to `<https://www.odoo.com>`_, but the server refused to
+provide the HTTPS certificate.
+
+Check that the IoT system and database meet the :ref:`eligibility requirements
+<iot/https_certificate_iot/iot-eligibility>` for an HTTPS certificate.

+To connect the POS with an :doc:`IoT system </applications/general/iot>`:
+
+#. Make sure both the Point of Sale and Internet of Things (IoT) apps are installed on your
+   database.
+#. Set up the :doc:`/applications/general/iot/iot_box` or
+   :doc:`/applications/general/iot/windows_iot`.
+#. Connect the peripheral devices to the IoT system:

+        - Instructions
+      * - Printer
+        - Connect a supported receipt printer to a :abbr:`USB (Universal Serial Bus)` port or
+          to the network, and power it on. Refer to :doc:`../restaurant/kitchen_printing`.
+      * - Cash drawer
+        - The cash drawer should be connected to the printer with an RJ25 cable.
+      * - Barcode scanner
+        - The barcode scanner must end barcodes with an `ENTER` character (keycode 28) in order for
+          the barcode scanner to be compatible. This is most likely the barcode scanner's default
+          configuration.
