Control Bit = 0
If the control bit is 0, the replacement data is uncompressed. Bits 0-2 contain the replacement
count; bits 3-6 contain the offset count. The replacement count is the number of bytes to be
replaced by the bytes following the command byte. The offset count is the location these
replacement bytes will occupy relative to the current position in the seed row.
count; bits 3-6 contain the offset count. The replacement count is the number of bytes to be
replaced by the bytes following the command byte. The offset count is the location these
replacement bytes will occupy relative to the current position in the seed row.
Like compression method 3, the current byte follows the last replacement byte or, at the begin-
ning of a row, the left graphics margin. An offset of 0 is the current byte; an offset of 1 is the
byte following the current byte.
ning of a row, the left graphics margin. An offset of 0 is the current byte; an offset of 1 is the
byte following the current byte.
If the offset count is 15, an offset count byte follows the command byte and is added to the
command byte’s offset count. If the offset count byte is 0, the offset count is 15. If the offset
count byte is 255, another offset count byte follows. The last offset count byte will be less than
255.
command byte’s offset count. If the offset count byte is 0, the offset count is 15. If the offset
count byte is 255, another offset count byte follows. The last offset count byte will be less than
255.
One more byte than that indicated by the replacement count will be replaced. That is, 000 = 1
and 111 = 8. For example, if the replacement count is 5, then 6 bytes are replaced.
and 111 = 8. For example, if the replacement count is 5, then 6 bytes are replaced.
If the replacement count is 7, a replacement count byte follows the command byte and any off-
set count bytes. If the replacement count byte is 0, then 8 bytes are replaced. If the replace-
ment count byte is 255, another replacement count byte follows. The last replacement count
byte will be less than 255. All of the replacement count bytes are added to the replacement
count in the command byte to get the total replacement byte count. One more than the total
replacement byte count will be replaced.

Control Bit = 1
Operation is similar if the control bit is 1, except that the replacement data is run length
encoded and the bit boundaries are different. Bits 5 and 6 contain the offset count; bits 0 - 4
contain the replacement count. As when the control bit is 0, optional offset bytes and replace-
ment bytes may be added.
