Line mode printing is ideal for basic retail (also referred to as point of sale or POS), shipping, inventory, work flow control, and general labeling. EPL printers with Line Mode are versatile printers than can print a wide range media and barcodes.
Line mode printing only prints single lines the height of the largest element present in the line of text and data – barcode, text, a logo or simple vertical lines. Line mode has many limitations due to the single line of print: no fine element placement, no overlapping elements, and no horizontal (ladder) barcodes.
