between the front-of-house and back-of-house teams, leading to a more streamlined and efficient
service.

From the :ref:`setup form <kitchen_printing/enable>`, select the :guilabel:`Printer Type` according
to your installation:
- If your printer is connected to an IoT box, select :guilabel:`Use a printer connected to the IoT
Box` and select the device in the :guilabel:`IoT Device` field.
- If you use an Epson printer that does not need an IoT box, select :guilabel:`Use an Epson printer`
