Hi,

Yes, the Epson TM-T82II-i is fully compatible with Odoo POS, including on iPads and macOS, without the need for an IoT Box. It supports the ePOS SDK JavaScript protocol over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, allowing direct integration with Odoo POS systems.

This is mentioned in the official Odoo documentation: https://chinaodoo.com/techdoc/applications/sales/point_of_sale/configuration/epos_printers.html

You can check the details there.

Hope it helps.

Hi there,

Good question about the TM-T82III! Here's what you should know about iPad/Mac printing with Odoo POS:

For Epson printers on iOS: The TM-T82III can work with iPad through Epson's ePOS network printing, but you'll need to verify it has the network/wireless model (not just USB). The TM-M30III you mentioned has better native iOS support, which is partly why it costs more.

General setup options for your iPad POS:

1. Epson ePOS printers – Native support, but limited to specific Epson models
2. IoT Box – Odoo's official solution, works with most printers
3. Software-based solutions – No additional hardware needed

For your specific needs (iPad + receipt printing): If you're looking to keep costs down and want something that works out of the box, you might want to consider a software-based approach instead of buying specific hardware.

We offer Ultraprint, which is a software solution that works with any standard thermal printer and your iPad. Setup takes about 5 minutes, and all printing stays on your local network through your Odoo server (so it's fast and secure).

It's subscription-based at $18.9/month for the Starter package, which would cover your iPad + scanner + printer setup. There's a $59 one-time add-on purchase as well.

Free demo available if you want to test it first: https://www.odooskillz.com/ask-for-a-demo-account

Full disclosure: I'm with Odoo Skillz, so I'm obviously biased! But I wanted to give you the full picture of your options before you commit to a specific printer model.

What's your budget looking like? That might help narrow down the best path for your store.

Just suggestion, I am using All in One desktop with touch screen so it is easier to connect any thermal Printer.

I am not sure how a thermal printer can be used with ipad because it requires bluetooth function.

I am interested to know this aswell. Do keep us updated when you find your working  setup with Ipad.

Thank you

Joie
