Since odoo/documentation#903, the guideline for the location of new resource (images, downloadable files, RST includes...) files is to place those inside the directory of the RST page that references them. For example, if `doc1.rst` has a reference to `image.png` and to `download.zip`, the file structure should look like this: ├── parent_doc/ │ └── doc1/ │ │ └── image.png │ │ └── download.zip │ └── doc1.rst │ └── doc2.rst ├── parent_doc.rst Before this commit, most of the resource files were still located inside 'media' directories holding all the resource files referenced by RST pages located at the same level as these directories. In the example above, a single 'media' directory would hold all the resource files referenced by both `doc1.rst` and `doc2.rst`. Doing so prevented us from figuring out easily which resource file was referenced by which RST page and, thus, lead to unused resource files piling up in the repository. It also made it more complicated to define codeowners regex rules because a team could not simply be assigned to `/some_page.*` but needed to be assigned to both `/some_page\.rst` and to the location of 'media'. In order to help new content writers figure out the guideline when taking examples from other RST pages, this commit retroactively applies the guideline to existing resource files and 'media' directories. The left-over resource files that are not referenced by any RST page are removed. task-2497965 Part-of: odoo/documentation#2064

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
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The IoT Box supports printers connected through USB, network or Bluetooth.
|
|
`Supported printers <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`__ will be
|
|
detected automatically and will appear in the *Devices* list of your IoT app.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The printer can take up to two minutes to appear in your devices list.

Link the Printer
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: printer/printer_05.png

|
|
|
|
Now, go to the *Printer Reports* tab.
|
|
|
|

|
|
: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
|
|
*Point of Sale* settings, under *Configuration*. There, click on *Edit*
|
|
and check the *IoT Box* feature. Then, choose your *Receipt Printer*
|
|
from the dropdown.
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Now, you will be able to print different kinds of tickets from your *POS*:
|
|
**receipts**, **sale details** and **bills**.
|
|
|
|
Receipts are printed once the order is validated. The process is
|
|
automated when you enable the feature in your *PoS* configuration.
|
|
|
|
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 *Print Bills* and a *Bill* button will
|
|
appear in the left panel of the *PoS*.

Print Orders in the kitchen
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
tick *Order Printer*.
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Now, go to the *Printers* menu. Hit create, select the printer from
|
|
the dropdown and, in the *Printer Product Categories* field, choose
|
|
all the categories of products that should be printed on this printer.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: printer/printer_12.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
In the *PoS*, when you add or remove a product from one of the
|
|
selected categories, the button *Order* will be green. If you click on
|
|
it, the IoT Box will print a receipt on the corresponding printer.
