Creating Graphics 5-13
About the Compressed Graphics Packet
The compressed graphics packet is created by label design software when a format is saved in
LZ77 compressed format with a MIME wrapper. Some label design software sends data to the
printer as a graphic, so using the compressed graphics packet provides faster imaging and
printing.
Note: This packet is included for reference only since it is created by label design software.
