NAME
       pbmtoepson - convert a PBM image into Epson printer graphics

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtoepson

       [-dpi=n] [-protocol={escp9|escp}] [-adjacent] [-noadjacent]

       [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pbmtoepson  reads  a  PBM image as input and produces a stream of Epson
       printer graphics as output.

       The input is from the file identified by the pbmfile  argument  or,  if
       you  don't specify pbmfile, from Standard Input.	 Output is to Standard
       Output.

       The output is for traditional (ca 1991) Epson 9-wire dot matrix	(some‐
       times  called  ESC/P  9-wire)  printers or newer ESC/P printers.	 For a
       more modern Epson ESC/P2 type printer, try pbmtoescp2.

       Before Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004), pbmtoepson  could  not	produce	 ESC/P
       streams -- only ESC/P 9-wire.

       The Epson printer protocols are described in
	Epson's			    protocol			 specification
       ⟨http://www.epson.co.uk/support/manuals/pdf/ESCP/Part_1.pdf⟩ .

       Note that there is no epsontopbm tool - this transformation is one way.

OPTIONS
       -protocol={escp9|escp}
	      This determines which Epson printer protocol  the	 output	 uses.
	      escp9  is	 the  older  ESC/P  9-pin protocol.  escp is the newer
	      ESC/P protocol.  For the even newer ESC/P2 protocol, you have to
	      use pbmtoescp2 instead.

	      This option was new in Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004).

       -dpi=n This  specifies  the  horizontal print density in dots per inch.
	      The protocol allows only certain values: 60, 72,	80,  90,  120,
	      144, and 240.  Actually, the ESC/P protocol allows a few others,
	      but pbmtoepson doesn't know how to generate the command  streams
	      that use them.

	      If you don't specify this, pbmtoepson chooses a horizontal print
	      density for you consistent with your other options.

	      This option was new in Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004).

       -adjacent

       -noadjacent
	      These options determine whether the output select 'adjacent  dot
	      printing' or not, whatever that is.

	      If  you  don't  specify  this,  pbmtoepson  selects adjacent dot
	      printing unless that is incompatible with your other options.

	      This option was new in Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004).
