This module extends the Odoo Point of Sale (POS) application. It offers a solution for restaurants, cafes, and other food service establishments looking to enhance their kitchen order management and printing processes.
Compatible with non ESCPOS printers, including locally connected printers (USB, serial, etc.), not limited to network printers.
- Direct Printing with jIotBox: Integrates with jIotBox, bypassing the need for the IoT Box and enabling direct printing from Odoo POS to your kitchen printers. This ensures faster, more reliable receipt printing and supports a wide range of printer models.
- Enhanced Kitchen Workflow: By customizing the layout and details of kitchen receipts, kitchens can improve order accuracy, speed up preparation times, and enhance overall service quality.
POS Session View And Configuration
Go to Point of Sale → Configuration → Point of sale. Go to Connected Devices section; check Kitchen Printers
It's important to ensure that the "Preparation Display" (enterprise Only) option is unchecked within the POS configuration settings. This setting, when deactivated, optimizes the system for use with the customized kitchen receipt designs provided by this module, preventing any conflict with the default preparation display functionality of Odoo POS.

jIotBox Configuration
Before using jIotBox, ensure that Java is installed on your system.
After installing Java, navigate to the "jIotBox" directory within this module and execute the "jIotBox.jar" file.
Upon launching jIotBox for the first time, ensure to select your printer and click on "Save" before starting or choose the option "Start IotBoxes automatically" to streamline the process.
Point Of Sale
It's crucial to ensure that the required drivers are correctly installed for optimal performance. Without the proper drivers, your printers may not function as expected, leading to errors and disruptions in your kitchen order management process.
Before using this module, double-check that all printer drivers are installed and up to date. Proper driver installation helps prevent compatibility issues and ensures seamless printing from Odoo POS to your kitchen printers.
To ensure a smooth installation and operation of the jIotBox, please follow these steps before launching the application:
- Run the provided
executeAsAdmin.batfile as Administrator to automatically set up necessary components like Chocolatey and mkcert on your system. - Do not close the window until the script confirms that the installation has completed.
- It will only run the first time, then you can open the jar directly.
After completing these steps, your system will be ready to handle secure direct printing tasks via jIotBox, integrated seamlessly with your Odoo POS system.
Ensuring secure communication for jIotBox on Windows involves several critical steps, from installing package managers to setting up SSL certificates. Here's a detailed walkthrough:
- Go to the jIotBox settings.
- Look for the "Enable SSL" option within the settings.
- Check the box to activate SSL.
- Find the section to configure the IP address ("Local Ip").
- Enter the local server IP address.
- Save the changes.
If you encounter any CORS errors, we recommend using Mozilla Firefox and disabling CORS. CORS errors might occur when accessing certain resources due to security restrictions enforced by the browser.
To disable strict origin policy
in Firefox, type
about:config in the
address bar. Search for
security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy
and set it to
false. This
adjustment can help when working
with local files and testing
across different origins.
To disable mixed content
warnings in Firefox, enter
about:config into
the address bar and search for
security.mixed_content.block_active_content.
Set it to false.
This change allows loading of
mixed active content, which can
help during development and
testing.
Unfortunately, we can't disable these security features in Chrome or Safari using similar methods. In these cases, it's necessary to use other approaches to resolve the issue, such as ensuring all resources are served over HTTPS or using a development proxy that handles HTTPS.

Highly definitely recommend this module and helps reduce the odoo licensing on the IoT side especially for small clients and third party country clients.
Definitely recommend working with the Developer, he has been super useful, and also working to make his product better with our feedback and recommendations.
The latest update can also accommodate more than 2 printers, so is amazing as operations expand as well.
This module facilitates efficient kitchen workflow, allowing direct receipt printing without the need for an IoT Box. A heartfelt thanks to the developer for their assistance in configuration.
