Function
Accepts compressed graphics. The printer decompresses and
prints the graphic.
Each compressed dotline (using a run-length encoding
scheme) is preceded by an uppercase
G
. Each uncompressed
dotline is preceded by an uppercase
U
. Vertical white space
(where several consecutive dotlines have not been printing) is
processed using an uppercase
A
followed by a single byte
count of the number of dotlines to advance.
Compressed dotlines use a single graphics byte, followed by
the number of times the byte is repeated. After the
compressed graphics data command (ESC B) is received,
each dotline must be preceded by the
G
or
U
, or an
A
may be
sent followed by the number of lines to advance.
When all data is sent, the final bytes must be ESC E to exit
compressed graphics data.
Compressed graphics mode requires a graphic image the
same width as the printhead in use.
Note:
The microFlash3 printer has 576 bits across a single
line; the microFlash2/2t has 384 bits and the microFlash2i
has 240 bits microFlash4t has 832 bits across a single line.
