More about ESC/P 2 Epson's enhanced printer control language, ESC/P 2, offers two scalable fonts in sizes from 8 to 32 points. You can use this feature if your application program supports scalable fonts. For DOS-based word processing programs, new ESC/P 2 drivers may be available to enable your program to use your printer's scalable fonts. Call (800) 922-8911 to ask about special ESC/P 2 drivers.
