ECC (Error Correction Code)
Error correction technology in 2D barcodes (e.g., QR code).
Emulation
Emulation is a printer function that allows various printing languages or protocols (e.g., PCL, ZPL, IPDS) to be emulated without requiring changes to the software or applications.
Emulation facilitates integration into existing ERP, WMS, or production systems, enables compatible printing, and ensures just-in-time and inline printing processes in industry, logistics, and manufacturing.

Emulation / Printer Language
The printer behaves as if it were a different printer type (e.g., ZPL, PCL, IGP). This eliminates the need to adapt the application software.
Programming or control languages supported by the printer (e.g., PCL5, ZPL, IGP, Labelpoint, direct PDF printing, etc.) enable it to work with different software systems and applications.

Energy Management / Energy Saving Mode
Printer function that reduces energy consumption when the device is not active.
ERP-System (Enterprise Resource Planning)
ERP systems are software solutions for controlling, planning, and optimizing business processes within companies. They integrate areas such as production, logistics, warehouse management, purchasing, and sales.
In combination with industrial printers, ERP systems enable just-in-time printing, barcode and label management, direct PDF printing, and process integration, ensuring efficient workflows, traceability, and automation in production and logistics.
