<h2>NAME</h2>
escp2topbm - convert an ESC/P2 printer file to a PBM image
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<b>escp2topbm</b>
[<i>printfile</i>]
<h2 id="description">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 id="options">OPTIONS</h2>
<p>There are no command line options defined specifically
for <b>escp2topbm</b>, but it recognizes the options common to all
programs based on libnetpbm (See <a href="index.html#commonoptions">
Common Options</a>.)
<p>Before Netpbm 10.72 (September 2015), the Netpbm common option
<b>-plain</b> has no effect on <b>escp2topbm</b> .
<h2 id="hints">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>
