+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
+
+<p><b>escp2topbm</b> reads an ESC/P2 printer control stream as input.
+It produces a PBM image as output.
+
+<P><b>escp2topbm</b> 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.
+
+<p>The input is from the file named by the <i>printfile</i> argument, or
+from Standard Input if you don't specify <i>printfile</i>.  The output is
+to Standard Output.
+
+<P><b>escp2topbm</b> understands compression modes 0 (uncompressed)
+and 1 (RLE compressed) in the Epson input stream.

+<H2>HINTS</H2>
+
+<P>As <b>escp2topbm</b> is a simple program, created mainly to test
+<b>pbmtoescp2</b>, there are some restrictions:
+
+<ul>
+<li><b>escp2topbm</b> looks only at "ESC." sequences and ignores
+all data outside these Escape sequences.
+
+<li><b>escp2topbm</b> assumes that only one raster graphic is in the
+printer stream.  If this isn't true, the result is garbage.
+
+<li><b>escp2topbm</b> assumes that all "ESC."  sequences use the same
+width value.  If this isn't true, the result is garbage.
+</ul>
