DELTA ROW

Delta Row is a compression mode that identifies and transmits only those

bytes different from the ones in a preceding row. The control byte consists of

two parts:

• High 3 bits: Number of bytes to replace +1 (1 to 8).

• Low 5 bits: Offset from last unmodified byte (0-30); if the offset is 31,

the next byte(s) is added to the offset until the next byte is not 255.

Example:

ESC*p300x1200Y |Move cursor to 1" x 4"

ESC*b3M |Set compression to Delta Row

ESC*r1A |Start raster graphics at current

position

|Num Offset

ESC*b9W 'E0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x |'111 00000'b=8 at 0:

'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x

ESC*b9W 'E08000000000000001'x |8 at 0: '8000000000000001'x

ESC*b0W |No bytes change

…

ESC*b0W |No bytes change

ESC*b9W 'E0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x |8 at 0: '8FFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x

ESC*rB |End graphics
