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.
