   I won't mention how I got this information since it's not available in
   Epson level 1 programming documents.  I normally like to give credit where
   credit is due, but, in this case, it may be better not to.

I want to be very careful about information obtained from questionable
sources, particularly this kind of very specific info.  I don't have a
problem with people using information reverse engineered out of print
files.  For example, if you print a uniform color patch from Windows,
and then disassemble the generated output to determine how much of
each color was used, that's fine by me.  Likewise, the spectrometer
idea.  If someone under NDA (who you had good reason to believe was
under NDA) told you something that you had good reason to believe was
under NDA (e. g. he or she told you), then stay away from it.
