+Capabilities
+------------
+:Last Reviewed: 2023-07-29
+
+Since the used command set often differs between printers,
+a model for supporting different printers is implemented.
+This feature is called `capabilities`.
+
+The `capabilities`-feature allows this library to know
+which features are supported.
+If no further information is specified, python-escpos will
+try to automatically use features based on the supplied information.
+
+In order to use the `capabilities`-database, the printer instance
+simply has to be created with the parameter `profile` set to the
+relevant identifier.
+The identifier can be found in :ref:`available-profiles`.
+
+This documentation describes the profiles in the database file that
+is bundled with this release.
+If another configuration is to be used, this chapter can be followed
+for information on how to sideload another `capabilities`-database:
+:ref:`advanced-usage-change-capabilities-profile`.
