Raster Command Reference Explanation of "TIFF compression mode" With compression, the data for the "raster graphics transfer" command is based on 104bytes (TD-4410D/4420DN (203 dpi)) or 160 bytes (TD-4510D/4520DN/4550DNWB (300 dpi)) of the total number of pins (TD-4410D/4420DN (203 dpi): 832 and TD-4510D/4520DN/4550DNWB (300 dpi): 1280). 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 with TD-4410D/4420DN (203 dpi) or 160 bytes with TD-4510D/4520DN/4550DNWB (300 dpi) when it is expanded by the machine, regardless of the tape width.

Explanation of “TIFF compression mode”
With compression, the data for the “raster graphics transfer” command is based on
104bytes (TD-4410D/4420DN (203 dpi)) or 160 bytes (TD-4510D/4520DN/4550DNWB (300 dpi)) of the
total number of pins (TD-4410D/4420DN (203 dpi): 832 and TD-4510D/4520DN/4550DNWB (300 dpi): 1280).
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 with TD-4410D/4420DN (203 dpi) or
160 bytes with TD-4510D/4520DN/4550DNWB (300 dpi) when it is expanded by the machine,
regardless of the tape width.
