Epson Stylus Pro XL+ [331/573] Color bit image graphics support

R-100 Extended ESC/P 2 Programming Guide
Monochrome printing support
Black and white printing support for the Stylus COLOR can be achieved most
easily by renaming an existing ESC/P 2 monochrome driver. The ESC/P 2
command language implements four scalable multipoint fonts: Roman, Sans
Serif, Roman T, and Sans Serif H not available to ESC/P printers. In addition,
ESC/P 2 printers support compressed graphics printing. In the monochrome
multipoint mode, the Stylus COLOR printer supports the same four multipoint
fonts available to current EPSON ESC/P 2 printers, including the LQ-150
(ActionPrinter 3260), LQ-570+ (ActionPrinter 5000+), LQ-1070+, Stylus 400,
Stylus 800+, Stylus 1000, Stylus 800, and Stylus 300. However, in order to access
the new extended raster graphics compressed modes, the driver should
incorporate the latest ESC/P 2 commands, including ESC . 2.
Color bit-image graphics support
The best way to support color printing on the Stylus COLOR is to write a new
driver that includes all of the expanded ESC/P 2 commands available to the
Stylus COLOR and other high-resolution EPSON printers. A simpler although
less desirable method of supporting color printing would be to rename an
existing ESC/P color driver. Driver examples include the LQ-860 or LQ-2550.
This method would support the Stylus COLOR as an older ESC/P bit-image
printer but would seriously limit its high-resolution printing capabilities and
deny access to other advanced features such as multipoint fonts, raster graphics
data compression (RLE or TIFF), and MicroWeave.
ESC/P 2 color multipoint font support
Color multipoint font ESC/P 2 drivers can be developed by adding the select
print color command (ESC r n) to existing black and white ESC/P 2 drivers. In
multipoint mode, insert the select print color command using the values below.
n color
0 Black (default)
1 Magenta
2 Cyan
3 Violet
4 Yellow
5 Red
6 Green
The Stylus COLOR uses process color inks—Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black
(CMYK)—to produce other colors, including Violet, Red, and Green. Existing
printer drivers that can be modified to support color multipoint fonts are the LQ-
150 (ActionPrinter 3260), LQ-570+ (ActionPrinter 5000+), LQ-1070+, Stylus 400,
Stylus 800+, Stylus 1000, Stylus 800, and Stylus 300. For more information, see
programming Example 1: ESC/P 2 color multipoint font driver. Also see the ESC
r command description in Individual Command Explanations.
