Raster Command Reference Explanation of "TIFF compression mode" With compression, the data for the "raster graphics transfer" command is based on 56 bytes (TD-2020/2120N) or 84 bytes (TD-2130N) of the total number of pins (TD-2020/2120N: 448 and TD-2130N: 672). As shown below, with no compression, the sum of the number of offset pins and the number of pins within the print area is the byte data. However, with compression, the number of unused pins is also added to the data. In other words, with compression, this becomes 104 bytes when it is expanded by the printer, regardless of the tape width. Raster line with compression Raster line with no compression 0 pin First byte Number of offset pins Tape margin Number of print area pins Total number of pins Print area Number of unused pins Last byte Pins on print head Feeding direction - 32 - 4.
