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 produces 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 standard (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 Standard Output.

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

       Before  Netpbm  10.72  (September  2015), the Netpbm global option -plain has no effect on
       escp2topbm .



OPTIONS
       none



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



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


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


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