NAME

stp - Ghostscript device driver for ESC/P, ESC/P2, RTL/PCL

OPTIONS

Options for the stp driver are given in normal Ghostscript manner. The resolution of the image calculated by Ghostscript is not bound to the resolution of the printer output. It is for example possible to specify -r360 to gs and print the output in 1440x720 dpi (see below for driver parameter). The result is a somewhat faster operation of the driver.

The device name is "stp" (-sDEVICE=stp)

The driver will not permit use of invalid settings.

The options for this driver are very complex. We strongly recommend use of a printer management system such as Foomatic rather than configuring a spooler manually with this driver. The driver name used by Foomatic is "gimp-print".

Overview for the IJS Driver:

Most options for the ijsgimpprint driver are similar to those for the stp driver. The major difference is that most of the Gimp-Print specific options are bundled together into a single option that is passed in as a special -sIjsParams parameter, and the normal Ghostscript -s and -d flags, indicating whether an option is a string or a number, are not used in this special parameter.

The device name is "ijs" (-sDEVICE=ijs). In addition, the location of the driver program must be specified. This will typically be /usr/bin/ijsgimpprint; the parameter in this case is -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgimpprint .

Also, -dIjsUseOutputFD should be specified whenever output from Ghostscript will go to stdout or into a pipe. It may be specified in all other cases, with only a slight performance degradation.

The -sIjsParams parameter contains a single string containing a comma-separated list of sub-options:

-sIjsParams=Option1=Value1,Option2=Value2

and so forth.

The options for this driver are very complex. We strongly recommend use of a printer management system such as Foomatic rather than configuring a spooler manually with this driver. The driver name used by Foomatic is "gimp-print-ijs".

Printer Model Selection (Option STP: -sModel=name , IJS: -sDeviceManufacturer=vendor -sDeviceModel=name):

This option must be supplied. There is no default. The IJS driver requires the vendor (it's part of the protocol), but the ijsgimpprint driver ignores it. It should be CANON, EPSON, LEXMARK, or HEWLETT-PACKARD. The value of the -sDeviceModel parameter is the same as the value of the -sModel parameter in the stp driver.

Most or all of the Epson Stylus printers are fully functional. The others vary. In particular, all of the listed Epson Stylus Photo printers print in full 6-color photo mode; most of the others do not. The color output has also been better tuned for Epson Stylus printers than for others.

Print Resolution Selection (Option STP: -sQuality= , IJS: -sIjsParams=Quality=):

The meaning of this is model-specific. Two names are listed for each resolution; the first (short) name is the value that must be passed to -sQuality, and the second (long) name is descriptive. Each printer has its own default value; for most printers, this is a reasonable 300 or 360 DPI resolution.

For Epson Stylus printers:

Within each specified resolution, the quality is generally listed from worst to best (and generally higher quality means lower speed). For example, 360 DPI Unidirectional is usually better than 360 DPI. Characteristics of specific models and individual printers may affect the orderings to some degree; on many printers, with certain papers, unidirectional printing will improve quality substantially more than using an otherwise better quality printing mode.

The difference between different quality settings lies in the number of passes made over each line. High and Highest quality settings perform more passes, printing fewer dots with each pass over the same line and using different nozzles for each pass. This reduces banding effects, but requires more time.

Interleave modes use algorithms within the printer to generate the sequence of rows printed. These algorithms generally only work well at low printing resolutions. Many printers do not support this kind of printing at resolutions of 720 DPI and above, and some printers that do actually print just one row (using just one nozzle per color) at a time. While this particular use will produce extremely high quality (no banding whatsoever, normally), it is extremely slow and may eventually damage the print head due to ink pooling. All printers that we are aware of have no such trouble at 360 DPI.

We generally recommend the following resolutions for the following purposes:

360x90
360x120
Fast economy draft output on plain paper (output will be very banded and not very dark).
180
Economy draft output on plain paper (output will not be very dark).
360x180
360x240
Draft output on plain paper (output will not be solidly black); economy draft output on good quality inkjet paper.
360
Standard quality output on plain paper (output will be solidly black); draft output on good quality inkjet paper.
720x360
High quality output on plain paper; standard output on good quality inkjet paper.
720
Maximum quality on plain paper; high quality on good inkjet paper; proofs on photo-quality paper. On many printers, there will be little difference between this and 720x360 on plain paper.
1440x720
High quality on photo paper; use 1440x720 Highest Quality to reduce microbanding if needed. While this will work on plain paper, it usually offers little improvement over 720 DPI.
2880x720
Highest quality on photo paper. While this may yield slightly improved quality, it will generally not be markedly superior to 1440x720 Highest Quality, except on the Stylus Color 980 and Stylus C70 and C80, where it may yield a noticeable improvement. It takes as long to print as 1440x720 highest quality, but twice as long to generate the output.
1440x1440
An unsupported mode that offers higher quality than 2880x720 for certain types of images on very high quality paper. It does not appear to offer any advantage on smooth tones, but fine detail (particularly vertical, and to a lesser extent near-horizontal) it shows noticeable improvement. It takes as long to print as 2880x720. 1440x1440 highest quality takes twice as long to print.
2880x1440
An unsupported mode that may offer higher quality than 2880x720 for certain types of images on very high quality paper. Experiments conducted thus far demonstrate little if any improvement over 1440x1440. It takes twice as long to print as 2880x720 or 1440x1440, and as long to print as 1440x1440 highest quality.

The following resolutions are supported on printers other than the Stylus Pro (5000, 5500, 7000, 7500, 9000, 9500, and 10000) printers. Resolutions for those printers are listed in a later section. Please see the notes at the end of this section.

Ink Types

This is printer type specific. The option names are case sensitive. The option names are case sensitive. Two names are listed for each resolution; the first (short) name is the value that must be passed to -sInkType, and the second (long) name is descriptive. Not all ink types are supported on all printers.

Option STP: -sInkType=inktype Option IJS: -sIjsParams=InkType=inktype

For Epson and Lexmark (other than the 4076) printers:

Six color printers can print using four color inks or all six colors. Six color mode is recommended for photographs. Four color mode may be useful when printing text with embedded graphics to reduce ink consumption, or to print higher quality with Ordered, Fast, or Very Fast dithering (see below).

The Composite modes use only color inks (no black) to produce all colors and black. These ink types are rarely useful, but on certain types of paper they may produce a smoother image than that produced by mixing black ink in. The Epson Stylus Color 1500 cannot mix black ink with colored inks; on this printer, Three Color Composite must be used.

We have found that glossy photo papers not specifically designed for Epson printers generally perform poorly in Epson printers. The ink tends to pool on the paper, causing muddy shadows and possibly leaving ink on the printer rollers. Use of the highest quality printing modes (1440x720 highest quality and 2880x720 unidirectional) produces the best result on such papers, probably because printing is slower and there is more time for the ink to dry.

Media Sizes

This is printer-specific; we cannot list the correct values for each printer here. The option names are case-sensitive. Two names are listed for each resolution; the first (short) name is the value that must be passed to -sPAPERSIZE, and the second (long) name is descriptive. This option does not set GhostScript up to use a paper size other than the default; it only tells the driver to set up the printer for a different paper size. The default paper size is

Option STP: -sPAPERSIZE=papersize Option IJS: -sPAPERSIZE=papersize (for known Ghostscript paper sizes) or


     -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=x -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=y

where x and y are the width and height of the paper respectively, in points (1/72")

Color Balancing Values: (min,max,default)

All of the values below are interpreted as being relative to norms for a particular printer established through testing, not absolute values of any kind.

The STP parameter is specified. The IJS parameter is created by removing the -d and beginning the options list with -sIjsParams. Thus

-dCyan=xxx

becomes

-sIjsParams=Cyan=xxx
-dCyan=xxx xxx: 0.0 ... 4.0 (1.0)
-dMagenta=xxx xxx: 0.0 ... 4.0 (1.0)
-dYellow=xxx xxx: 0.0 ... 4.0 (1.0)

These three options allow specification of the cyan, magenta, and yellow levels independently, for rebalancing the levels. Normally, these should be adjusted to yield neutral gray, but they can be used for other effects.
-dBrightness=xxx xxx: 0.0 ... 2.0 (1.0)

Adjust the brightness of the image. 0.0 gives a fully black image; 2.0 gives a fully white image. Values greater than 1 will result in black not being solid and highlights turning white; values less than 1 will result in white not being perfectly clear and shadows turning black.
-dContrast=xxx xxx: 0.0 ... 4.0 (1.0)

Adjust the contrast of the image. 0.0 gives a solid gray for the entire image, the exact gray depending upon the brightness chosen.
-dGamma=xxx xxx: 0.1 ... 4.0 (1.0)

Adjust the gamma of the image, over and above the printer-specific correction. Gamma less than 1.0 will result in a darker image; gamma greater than 1.0 will result in a lighter image. Unlike brightness, gamma adjustment does not change the endpoints; it merely changes the shape of the input->output curve.
-dDensity=xxx xxx: 0.1 ... 2.0 (1.0)

Adjust the amount of ink deposited on the paper. If you've chosen the correct paper type and you're getting ink bleeding through the paper or puddling, try reducing the density to the lowest value you can while still achieving solid black. If you're not getting solid black, even with the contrast and brightness at 1.0, try increasing the density.

All of the printers supported here actually need less than 100% ink density in most cases, so the actual density is something other than the nominal density setting. The effective density setting cannot go above 100%, so if a value specified will result in an excessively high density level, it will be silently limited to 1.0.
-dSaturation=xxx xxx: 0.0 ... 9.0 (1.0)

Adjust the brilliance of colors. 0.0 results in pure grayscale; using this with -dColor=1 is one way of getting grayscale (see below under -dColor for a full discussion). Saturation of less than 1.0 results in more muted colors; saturation of greater than 1.0 results in more vibrant colors. Very high saturation often results in very strange effects, including posterization and banding that might not be expected. For normal purposes, the saturation should generally be less than 1.5.

Dithering Algorithms:

The option names are case sensitive. Two names are listed for each resolution; the first (short) name is the value that must be passed to -sDither, and the second (long) name is descriptive.

Option STP: -sDither=algorithm
Option IJS: -sIjsParams=Dither=algorithm
Adaptive Adaptive Hybrid
EvenTone EvenTone screening (experimental)
Ordered Ordered
Fast Fast
VeryFast Very Fast
Floyd Hybrid Floyd-Steinberg

For highest quality, we recommend use of Adaptive Hybrid dithering. For continuous tone images, Ordered works just as well and is somewhat faster. Ordered dithering yields noticeably inferior results with text and intricate line art, particularly at high resolutions.

EvenTone dithering is a relatively new screening technology developed by Raph Levien. It offers superior smoothness in highlights and midtones, and increased accuracy in shadows, resulting in significantly improved results overall. The version of EvenTone dithering that we are using is enhanced with some additional improvements we have made. It currently only operates with CMYK (4, 6, or 7 color output) with RGB input, and should be considered experimental. Note that it is patented (see US patent 5917614), but it is licensed for use with GPL software. See http://www.levien.com/patents.html for more information.

Fast dithering, which is a simplified version of ordered dither, is significantly faster, but color accuracy is worse, particularly on six color printers and printer using variable dot sizes. On simple four color printers, the quality is quite reasonable, although color printing will show more speckling in dark tones than Ordered dither. For single dot size printers, printing grayscale, this algorithm yields almost identical results to Ordered with some performance improvement. On three color printers, the results should be very similar to Ordered.

Very Fast is even faster than Fast, with even more loss of quality. It shows even more speckling, and the output is heavily patterned. On laser printers, and possibly on certain kinds of text and line art, Very Fast dithering may actually yield the best quality.

Error diffusion algorithms (Hybrid Floyd-Steinberg is such an algorithm) perform very well at high densities, and are capable of rendering very fine detail well, but they tend to exhibit artifacts in the form of waves or worms of dots which results in noticeable texturing in pale areas. Furthermore, pale areas immediately adjacent to white take a while to build up sufficient error to print at all. This is sometimes called tearing Its use is not recommended.

Output Type

STP:
-dColor=x x: 0 ... 2 (1 on color printers, 0 otherwise)


0 Grayscale
1 Color (RGB)
2 Black and white

IJS:
Black and white: -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray -dBitsPerSample=1
Grayscale: -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray
Color (RGB): -sProcessColorModel=DeviceRGB
Color (CMYK): -sProcessColorModel=DeviceCMYK

Choose color vs. grayscale output. Color output is the default. Choosing -dColor=0 results in only black ink (no color ink) being used, which is faster and usually results in the most accurate grayscale, but at the expense of smoothness. If you want composite color (using a mixture of color and black inks to produce gray), use -dColor=1 and -dSaturation=0.0 (see -dSaturation above).

In addition, using -dColor=0 uses luminance (perceived brightness) of red, green, and blue to choose output levels. Blue of a given intensity is perceived to be much darker than red, which in turn appears darker than green. -dColor=1 and -dSaturation=0.0 does not use luminance.

-dColor=2 prints only black and white (thresholding). This option always uses Fast dithering unless you specify Very Fast.

CMYK output may be used with the IJS driver only. It is useful if you're printing a CMYK graphic and want explicit control over the inks. Generally it yields inferior quality, as Gimp-Print has good algorithms for converting RGB (screen) into CMYK (inks) that take into account paper type, ink type, and other variables. In CMYK mode, the brightness, contrast, and saturation controls do not function.

Image type (to optimize the dither):

STP:
-dImageType=x x: 0 ... 2 (0)

IJS:
-sIjsParams=ImageType=x

Select the image type most representative of what's being printed.
0 Line art (color or gray scale)
1 Primarily solid colors or smooth gradients (color or gray scale)
2 Continuous-tone photographs (color or gray scale)

Option 0 is the fastest. It generates strong, but not particularly accurate, colors. There may be some fairly sharp color transitions in this mode.

Option 1 generates more accurate colors, but is slower.

Option 2 generates the most accurate colors, but is considerably slower.

Note that any of the modes may be used with either color or black & white output. If black and white output is requested, but a color mode used, composite color will be printed. This generally offers smoother tone, but less purity of gray or black, than pure black ink. Furthermore, it is possible to tune the color of the gray (to achieve warmer or cooler effects) using the color controls in this fashion.

Specifying a lower GhostScript resolution (with -r) results in faster color conversion. For example, if you print at 1440x720 DPI, but specify a Ghostscript resolution of 360 DPI (with -r360), output will be significantly faster and there will be much less difference in performance between the three image type options.

EXAMPLES:

Note that a lot of these options are used for demonstration; generally adjusting the density is a bad idea!

Example 1 (print charts to file, using A4 paper, color, 360 dpi):


gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-ex -dDensity=1.6 -dGamma=1.5 -dSaturation=0.9 \

   -dBrightness=.4 -dImageType=1 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 \

   -sOutputFile=itsyourchoice.prn foo.ps



gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgimpprint \

   -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON -sDeviceModel=escp2-ex -sPAPERSIZE=a4 \

   -sOutputFile=itsyourchoice.prn \

   -sIjsParams=Density=1.6,Gamma=1.5,Saturation=0.9,Brightness=0.4,ImageType=1 \

   foo.ps

Example 2 (print color photograph to /dev/lp0 at maximum quality):


gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-870 -dDensity=0.8 \

   -r1440x720 -sQuality=1440x720hq -sMediaType=GlossyPhoto \

   -dImageType=2 -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 foo.ps



gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgimpprint \

   -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON -sDeviceModel=escp2-870 \

   -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 \

   -sIjsParams='Quality=1440x720hq,MediaType=GlossyPhoto,Density=0.8,ImageType=2' \

   foo.ps

Example 3 (print pure black text to stdout)


gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-660 -dDensity=0.8 -r720 \

   -sQuality=720sw -dColor=2 -sOutputFile=- foo.ps



gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgimpprint \

   -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON -sDeviceModel=escp2-660 -dIjsUseOutputFD \

   -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray -dBitsPerSample=1 -sOutputFile=- \

   -sIjsParams='Quality=720sw,Density=0.8' foo.ps
