How to Print 3-Inch and 4-Inch Odoo POS Bill Receipts
Odoo POS supports different receipt sizes, allowing businesses to choose between 3-inch thermal prints, 4-inch thermal prints, and standard A4 format. This flexibility is especially helpful for stores that use compact thermal printers or prefer larger, more detailed receipts. With Odoo POS, choosing the right print size is simple and can be done directly from the POS settings, ensuring a smooth and consistent billing experience for both staff and customers.
Selecting the Receipt Format in Odoo POS
Odoo POS allows multiple cashiers to work on the same terminal, making it a great solution for busy or shared counters. To set the desired print format, users can open the POS dashboard, select the terminal they want to configure, and click the Edit button.
Inside the print format settings, three options are available: 3-inch thermal print, 4-inch thermal print, and A4 print. Users can choose whichever format suits their printer or store preference, and Odoo will use that format for all receipts generated from that terminal.
Processing a Sale and Printing the Receipt
To print a receipt, the cashier begins by opening the POS interface and adding products to the cart. Items can be added by typing the product code, scanning the barcode, or scanning any related multi-barcode. Quantities can be adjusted easily, and the appropriate customer can be selected if needed.
Once the order is complete, the cashier moves to the payment screen by clicking the Payment Mode button or pressing the F4 shortcut. On the payment screen, the desired payment method is selected, and the transaction is completed by clicking Validate or pressing Alt + V. As soon as the sale is confirmed, Odoo automatically prints the bill in the selected receipt format.
Printed Bill Receipt Details in Odoo POS
The printed bill displays important information to ensure clarity for customers and staff. At the top, the receipt shows the store name, address, GST number, and the company logo on the left. It also includes essential transaction details such as the Order Number, Bill Number, and the exact date and time of the sale. The main body of the receipt lists each product purchased, including the HSN code, quantity, MRP, rate, tax, and total amount, making it easy to verify the items.
A summary section provides the total quantity, total weight, final amount, and any rounding difference, giving a quick overview of the sale. The Pay Mode Received section shows how the customer paid, including the amount received through each payment method and any balance returned.
The Tax Details section outlines the taxable amount and breaks down the CGST, SGST, and IGST values for complete transparency. Customer information and loyalty points are available, they appear below the tax section, but only when a customer is selected. Finally, the receipt ends with the cashier’s name and the terminal used, helping maintain accountability and clear transaction tracking.
