When transferring raster graphics data, each line of raster data must be prefixed by the command:

<ESC> *b n W

where n gives the number of data bytes to follow (the maximum is 255 before another such command is sent). This data must follow the compression rules set in the previous command. For instance, a TIFF image interpreted in any way other than the TIFF format will produce very strange results! Repeat sending lines of graphics data, prefixed by the above command, until the whole image has been transmitted.

To signal the end of graphic data transmission, send the following command:

<ESC> *r B

There are no parameters. The LaserPrinter 4111is now in text mode.

A pro,grainminghint: move your print position in dot increments whenever you’re dealing with graphics. It’s easier than trying to calculate column- widths or decipoints.

The Raster Height command specifies the height in pixels of the next raster graphic (between the start graphics and stop graphics commands).

<ESC> *r n T

The value of n must be non-negative; if necessary, it is truncated to the value of (logical page length) - (y coordinate of cursor). This command causes all raster rows after the specified height to be clipped (disregarded), even if n = O.It forced the cursor position to advance vertically by n rows, even if less than n rows are transferred. The area maps to either opaque or transparent depending on the source transparency mode.
