Table 1-15: Raster Graphics
Command / Parameters Function / Result
ESC*t#R
300 300 dpi
Raster Resolution
Note: Only 300 dpi is supported. All other values are parsed

and ignored.

ESC*r#F
0 Rotate with print
3 Fixed (Default)
Raster Graphics Presentation
Sets the Raster Image Orientation in relation to the logical page.
ESC*r#S
# = Number of Input Pixels
Raster Width (Source)
Sets the width of the clip window for raster graphics.
ESC*r#T
# = Number of Raster Lines
Raster Height (Source)
Sets the height of the clip window for raster graphics.
ESC*r#A
0 Left Graphics Margin at 0 (Default)
1 Current Cursor Position
2 At logical left page limit with scaling
On
3 At current cursor position with
scaling On
Start Ra ster G raphi cs
Sets the left margin for raster graphics.
ESC*b#V[data]
# = Number of Data Bytes
Transfer Raster Data by Plane
This command is used when the raster data is encoded by plane as
specified by the Simple Color command or the Configure Image Data
command. The command sends each plane in the row except the last.
ESC*b#Y
# = Number of Raster Lines
Y Offset
Moves the cursor position down by the specified number of raster lines.
ESC*b#M
0 Uncoded (Default)
1 Run-Length Encoded
2 Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
byte
3Delta Row
5 Adaptive Compression
9 Replacement Delta Row
999 Zlib
1002 Group 4
1003 Group 3 one dimensional
1004 Group 3 two dimensional K=2
1005 Group 3 two dimensional K=4
1006 TIFF word (16 bit)
1007 TIFF double-word (32 bit)
1008 Adaptive compression (includes TIFF
word and TIFF double-word)
Set Raster Compression Mode
Identifies the compression mode the host uses to transfer RIG data. For
instance, this command can be run-length encoding or TIFF encoding.
Note: For further information, see “Raster Compression Mode” in this
section, and “Group 3 and Group 4 Raster Compression” in this section.
ESC*b#W[data]
# = Number of Data Bytes
Transfer Raster Data by Row/Block
Transfers RIG data.
Note: After each command, the cursor position is moved to the
beginning of the next raster row.
