15-18 Raster Graphics EN
The range of numbers for the control byte is shown below.
Note Another method to calculate the number needed in the control byte
for some number of repetitions is to subtract the number of desired
repetitions from 256. For example, the control value for 3 repetitions
(4 occurrences) of a byte is 256 minus 3 = 253.
A zero or positive value in the control byte means that the subsequent
byte or bytes are non-replicated bytes of data. The value of the
control byte plus one indicates the number of data bytes that follow.
For example, a control byte of 0 means the following 1 byte is literal
raster data. A control byte of 6 indicates that the following 7 bytes are
literal raster data bytes.
