8 Bit Compressed Graphics ESC v h w c data [c data] [c data] …
This command differs from the 8 Bit Graphics command described above by reducing the number of bits
(bytes) that have to be sent to the printer. This allows for faster data transfer between the host computer and the
printer.
Variable Value Description
h 1 ≤ h 255 Number of graphic lines in the image.
w MLP3030: 0 ≤ w ≤ 72
MLP3040: 0 ≤ w ≤ 104
PrintAbout MP 2000: 0
≤ w ≤ 104
Number of bytes in each graphic line of the image.
c 0 ≤ c ≤ 255 Counter(s) describing how following bytes are to be
interpreted. A description of how counter values and
the following data are interpreted follows this table.
data Graphic data bytes where
the value of each byte is 0-
255
Graphic data bytes to be interpreted as specified by the
preceding counter, c.
