GIT

The master-branch contains the main development of the project. A release to PyPi is marked with a tag
corresponding to the version. Issues are closed when they have been resolved by merging into the master-branch.
When you have a change to make, begin by creating a new branch from the HEAD of `python-escpos/master`.

Please try to group your commits into logical units. If you need to tidy up your branch, you can make use of a
git feature called an 'interactive rebase' before making a pull request. A small, self-contained change-set is
easier to review, and improves the chance of your code being merged.
Please also make sure that before creating your PR, your branch is rebased on a recent commit or you merged a recent
commit into your branch. This way you can ensure that your PR is without merge conflicts.

Printing Barcodes
-----------------
:Last Reviewed: 2023-05-16
:Last Reviewed: 2023-08-10
Many printers implement barcode printing natively.
This hardware renderered barcodes are fast but the supported formats are limited by the printer itself and different between models.
However, almost all printers support printing images, so barcode renderization can be performed externally by software and then sent to the printer as an image.
As a drawback, this operation is much slower and the user needs to know and choose the image implementation method supported by the printer's commandset.

barcode-method
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since version 3.0, the ``barcode`` method unifies the previous ``barcode`` (hardware) and ``soft_barcode`` (software) methods.
It is able to choose automatically the best printer implementation for barcode printing based on the capabilities of the printer and the type of barcode desired.
To achieve this, it relies on the information contained in the escpos-printer-db profiles.
The chosen profile needs to match the capabilities of the printer as closely as possible.
