Afteryou have designed the character pattern, you need to compress the Dot Pattern.

Data compression allows you to store more download characters than without compression. It is a more efficient use of memory. The printer will repeat the previous dot column when the current column compression mask bit is set to” 1“.

Fill up the adjacent dot column even if it does not print, then compare each vertical line to the line on its left..If the line is the same as the left one, write

“l” in the column for the compression mask bit. If it is not,	“0”.
