Range

Transfers the number of bytes specified in the value field to the printer in a row by row or block format, depending on the current compression method (Esc * b # M), then moves CAP to the next row.

This command is used in single-color and multi-color printers where data is encoded by row rather than by pixel. Because this command advances the row, it is also used for single-plane rows or the last plane in a multi-plane row.

CAP is updated for each row in both row or block formats. For row formats, CAP is reset to the left graphics margin. For block formats, CAP is reset to the X coordinate of the block; and the Y coordinate is incremented.

The amount of data sent by this command can vary from row to row. If the picture width allows more data than is sent, the undefined area is zero-filled. Undefined planes in a multi-plane row are zero-filled. Black and white devices interpret zeros as white; color devices interpret zero according to the current palette.

The plane pointer in a multi-plane row is reset to 1 after the data is transferred.

The data field is interpreted according to the current compression method (Esc * b # M).
