epcol

Epcol gives simple access to using factory builtin features of ESC-P2 printers such as the Epson LQ590 printer. These printers have very nice embedded fonts that are easy to use when a file is processed by epcol before printing. The proportional fonts are especially nice looking fonts. A typical usage is putting macro commands in the text file or specifying a command option to epcol on the command line as shown in the epcol syntax statement. Just give epcol an unknown option to get the syntax echoed (e.g., epcol -z). The macro commands are the macro name, .ep, followed by a command name such as roman (i.e., .ep roman) on a line by itself. The .ep\ proportional command enables the printer builtin proportional spacing font.

The ocfont reviews serve as a question and answer area for epcol and other josephms sourceforge projects and are regularly checked.
