SYNOPSIS
11       escp2topbm [printfile]
12
13

DESCRIPTION
15       This program is part of Netpbm(1).
16
17       escp2topbm  reads  an  ESC/P2 printer control stream as input.  It pro‐
18       duces a PBM image as output.
19
20       escp2topbm filters the raster graphic  content  from  an  Epson  ESC/P2
21       printer  control  stream and writes the image it would print as a stan‐
22       dard (raw) PBM image.
23
24       The input is from the file named by the  printfile  argument,  or  from
25       Standard  Input if you don't specify printfile.  The output is to Stan‐
26       dard Output.
27
28       escp2topbm understands compression modes 0 (uncompressed)  and  1  (RLE
29       compressed) in the Epson input stream.

OPTIONS
33       There  are no command line options defined specifically for escp2topbm,
34       but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
35       (See
36        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ .)
37
38       Before  Netpbm  10.72 (September 2015), the Netpbm common option -plain
39       has no effect on escp2topbm .

HINTS
43       As escp2topbm is a simple program, created mainly to  test  pbmtoescp2,
44       there are some restrictions:
45
46
47
48       ·      escp2topbm  looks  only at "ESC." sequences and ignores all data
49              outside these Escape sequences.
50
51
52       ·      escp2topbm assumes that  only  one  raster  graphic  is  in  the
53              printer stream.  If this isn't true, the result is garbage.
54
55
56       ·      escp2topbm assumes that all "ESC."  sequences use the same width
57              value.  If this isn't true, the result is garbage.
