- Template-based Bitmap class supporting multiple pixel formats (ALPHA8, RGBX8, RGBA8, ARGB8)
- Monochrome bitmap conversion for printer output
- PrinterDriverFactory for creating printer instances
- USB device abstraction layer (IUsbDevice, UsbDevice, UsbDeviceFactory)
- Command-line interface using CLI11
- Logging with spdlog and file output
