We study the deposition of line segments on a two-dimensional square lattice. The estimates for the coverage at jamming obtained by Monte Carlo simulations and by seventh-order time-series expansion are successfully compared. The nontrivial limit of adsorption of infinitely long segments is studied, and the lattice coverage is consistently obtained using these two approaches.
