NAME
       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.
