system of commands gives you control of your printer from
your computer. It is standard for all EPSON printers and
supported by most application programs for personal

The enhanced version of the ESC/P printer command
language. Commands in this language produce laser-like
features, such as scalable fonts and enhanced graphics
printing.

grayscale
A scale of shades of gray from black to white. Grayscale is
used to represent colors when printing with black ink only.
halftoning
A method of using dot patterns to represent an image.
Halftoning makes it possible to produce varying shades of
gray using only black dots, or a nearly infinite array of colors
using only a few colors of dots.
initialization
Returns the printer to its defaults (fixed set of conditions).
This happens every time you turn on or reset the printer.

A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is
formed by precisely spraying ink onto paper.
