CHAPTER 5: COMMAND SEQUENCE FLOW 5.1 Raster Graphics Mode The Raster graphics command controls the following two modes. 1) Non-compressed mode Print data are transferred without compression. This is effective especially for photographs and other data, which yield only a low compression ratio. 2) RLL compression mode Print data are compressed using RLL (run-length limited) compression. This is effective for data with repeated patterns, such as graphics and illustrations.
