Short: EPSON Stylus COLOR Series Utilitiy
Author: sru@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Stephan Rusdorf)
Uploader: sru@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de
Type: text/print
Version: 1.3b
This is an Utility for use with the EPSON Stylus Color Series printer.
!!! This is a beta release - Most features are not tested !!!
FEATURES
--------
- you can setup the printer standardprefs (Font, Chartable, ...)
(At this time supported for ESC/500/200/400/600/800
-> next maybe (if requested!) ESCII(s), Stylus, LQ?)
- you can print the nozzle-testpattern
(At this time supported for 400/600/800!!!
- you can clean the head of the printer (black or color)
(At this time supported for ESC/400/600/800!!!
- you can calibrate the printer with some patterns
(At this time only for ESC/400/600/800
-> planed for 500/200/II(s)
For the ESC500-printer the calibration works completly different
to the 800 - there are not send only control-sequences to the
printer but the patterns in graphic mode!
And there is no developer-support from EPSON. So I must find
out myself what I need from thousands of hex-bytes!)
I didn't think about the ESC200/ESC2(s) because I want to finish
the support for ESC500 first.
This is the same what the Utility for Mac and PC do.
- about software-controlled interrogation of ink capacity I havn't
any information. If i get the required dev-info i will support this.
Because I only have an EPSON Stylus COLOR 800 I couldn't test the
program for the other printers! So if you use it please check the
first times if it works correct an write me an email with your results.
