Epson Printer Bitmaps

Epson Printer Bitmaps are graphics in the form that can be sent to an Epson printer as part of the ESC/P printer command language. They are stored either uncompressed or with run-length encoding (RLE) compression. Some information on the formatting can be found on page C-172 of the ESC/P manual linked below.
