everything in this submission was originally printed using a Seiko SII RP-F10 thermal printer on 80mm thermal paper. the prints were then scanned on a Canon MF643Cdw at 300dpi using xsane, and edited into the final JPEG images in this submission using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 on Windows XP Pro SP3.

while the few demo prints of a lemon pie, coffee cup and ramen bowl were printed using lp something.png via CUPS, all the text was written in Vim, painstakingly inserting raw ESC/POS commands using ^V x <hex>. The codepage table was generated by an example script from the python-escpos project, then slightly altered. The raw ESC/POS commands sent to the printer to print all the text are in escpos_raw.bin.
