What is the difference between Receipt Mode and Label Mode?

The DEV printer has two main working modes: Receipt Mode and Label Mode.
Receipt Mode is used for printing bills, receipts, and invoices on continuous thermal receipt rolls.
Label Mode is used for printing product labels, barcodes, price tags, and small shipping labels on label rolls with gaps or marks.

Choosing the correct mode is important because it helps the printer detect the media properly and ensures correct paper alignment, proper spacing, and accurate print output. Using the wrong mode can lead to alignment issues, blank output, or improper printing. The DEV printer overview also aligns with this usage: Receipt Mode is intended for bills, receipts, and QR codes, while Label Mode is intended for barcodes, QR codes, price tags, and product labels.
