Epson Stylus 1500 [332/573] Esc p 2 microweave color extended raster graphics tiff

Extended ESC/P 2 Programming Guide R-101
ESC/P 2 MicroWeave color raster graphics and RLE compressed raster graphics
Color raster graphics printing with MicroWeave requires the addition of the
MicroWeave command “ESC ( i 01 00 n” and the select color command “ESC r n”
to an existing monochrome raster graphics driver. Only four colors are available
when printing raster graphics.
n color
0 Black (default)
1 Magenta
2 Cyan
4 Yellow
Note:
If you change the selected colors after entering raster graphics mode, the data
buffer will be flushed.
Any of the following printer drivers can be modified to support MicroWeave
color raster graphics printing: Stylus 400, Stylus 800+, Stylus 1000, Stylus 800,
Stylus 300, LQ-570+ (ActionPrinter 5000+), LQ-1070+, LQ-150 (ActionPrinter
3260), and LQ-100 (ActionPrinter 3250). This mode can access the highest
printing resolution (720 by 720 dpi) featured on EPSON’s latest color ink jet
printers, such as the Stylus COLOR. See Example 2: MicroWeave ESC/P 2 color
raster graphics and RLE compressed raster graphics driver for more information.
ESC/P 2 MicroWeave color extended raster graphics—TIFF
With the introduction of the Stylus COLOR, new compression method—TIFF—
has been added to the existing ESC/P 2 graphics command set. To enter TIFF
compressed mode, select the ESC . 2 extended raster graphics command. This
compression architecture saves up to five bytes of overhead per raster line.
Note:
In TIFF compressed mode, the band height (m) must always be set to 1. In this
setting, one raster line prints at a time.
The new compression mode supports the Stylus COLOR’s and later inkjet
printers’ maximum resolution of 720 by 720 dpi and MicroWeave. The ESC . 2
extended raster graphics compression commands make use of a subset of binary
mode commands new to ESC/P 2. These commands, which reduce the amount
of code data that must be sent to the printer, are explained below.
