Created:  1  August  2003 escp2topbm - convert an ESC/P2 printer file to a PBM
image

SYNOPSIS
       escp2topbm [printfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       escp2topbm reads an ESC/P2 printer control stream as  input.   It  pro‐
       duces a PBM image as output.

       escp2topbm  filters  the	 raster	 graphic  content from an Epson ESC/P2
       printer control stream and writes the image it would print as  a	 stan‐
       dard (raw) PBM image.

       The  input  is  from  the file named by the printfile argument, or from
       Standard Input if you don't specify printfile.  The output is to	 Stan‐
       dard Output.

       escp2topbm  understands	compression  modes 0 (uncompressed) and 1 (RLE
       compressed) in the Epson input stream.

OPTIONS
       none

HINTS
       As escp2topbm is a simple program, created mainly to  test  pbmtoescp2,
       there are some restrictions:

       ·      escp2topbm  looks	 only at "ESC." sequences and ignores all data
	      outside these Escape sequences.

       ·      escp2topbm assumes that  only  one  raster  graphic  is  in  the
	      printer stream.  If this isn't true, the result is garbage.

       ·      escp2topbm assumes that all "ESC."  sequences use the same width
	      value.  If this isn't true, the result is garbage.
