IMPORTANT NOTE
Barcode symbols, particularly 2D-type like QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec Code, Maxicode..., might look different to the one printed by a real printer because Virtual EPL Printer Driver leverages on its own barcode encoder. However, this does not mean that the rendered barcodes will not be readable at all.
