			== Sending Bit Image ==

			To store a bit image to NVRam, use the {{code\|1C 71 01}} command, followed by 5 arguments:
			# xl - image width in bytes (ie. Ceiling of Image Width in Pixels / 8). Must be between 0 - 255
			# xh - image width as multiples of 256. Must be between 0 - 3.
			# yl - image height in bytes (ie. Ceiling of Image Height in Pixels / 8). Must be between 0 - 255
			# yh - image height in multiples of 256. Must be between 0 - 1.
			# bit image data. Length must be (xl + yl + ((xh + yh) * 256)) * 8.

			The image bitmap data is sent to the printer ordered from top to bottom, left to right. 8 pixels per byte.

			For example, sending a 4x4 black bitmap image would result in 8 bytes of data:
			# {{code\|1111 0000}} - 1st column, 4 black, plus 4 blank pixels
			# {{code\|1111 0000}} - 2nd column
			# {{code\|1111 0000}} - 3rd column
			# {{code\|1111 0400}} - 4th column. Last byte at the end of the image ends with 04. see below.
			# {{code\|0000 0000}} - 5th column, outside of the original 4x4 image
			# {{code\|0000 0000}} - 6th column
			# {{code\|0000 0000}}
			# {{code\|0000 0000}}

			It also seems like the end of the image is terminated with a {{code\|04}} code... but i'm not sure if this is true as it isn't documented. It is sent by the logo utility though.

			== Instructions ==
			See the command reference list below for a detailed list of instructions.

			Epson's command list shows the command with ASCII names rather than the hex values, so sending {{code\|1B 40}} to initialize a printer is equivalent to {{code\|ESC @}}.

			Here are some common instructions:
			* {{code\|1B 40}} Initialize the ESC/POS printer
			* {{code\|1C 70 01 00}} = Print first bit image stored in NVRam
			* {{code\|1B 64 05 1D 56 01}} = Epson cutter command
			* {{code\|0A}} = Line feed
