ADAPTIVE COMPRESSION

Adaptive compression allows the combined use of compression methods

0 through 3 (Uncoded, Run-Length Encoded, TIFF, and Delta Row). It also

allows the printing of empty rows (all zeros) or duplicate rows.

• The Transfer Raster Data command size includes all rows (scan

lines).

• Scan Mode and SizeH,L are three-byte primary control strings:

CountH and CountL.

Example:

ESC*p300x1500Y |Move cursor to 1" x 5"

ESC*b5M |Set the compression to Adaptive

Compression

ESC*b29W |Raster Data: 29 bytes follow

'03 0009'x 'E0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x |Delta Row: 8 at 0:

'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh'x

'01 0006'x '0080 FB00 0001'x |Run Length: 1:'80'x, 6x'00'x, 1:'01'x

'05 0035'x |Duplicate rows: 61 times'02 0002'x

'F9FF 'x |TIFF: 8x'FF'x

ESC*rB |End graphics
