Complete User Guide for Odoo POS Network Printer

Updated 15 December 2022

INTRODUCTION

Odoo POS Network Printer permits you to print via a network printer!!

Printing receipts in POS becomes difficult without a POS box. In addition, the POS box is slow and processes the payment a little slow.

You can overcome this problem with a network printer that prints receipts and invoices without a POS box. Moreover, it will eliminate the need for a conventional printer, and you can print all the invoices conveniently.

Still, how will you connect the network printer with your POS? For this, we have Odoo POS Network Printer, which lets you connect the POS with the network printer and let you print invoices.

Note: This module uses the QZ Tray client for sending direct print commands to the ESC/POS printer:
