Abstract
One embodiment of the invention is directed to a printer that is configured to interleave color plane data. The interleaved data is compressed, thereby forming compressed data having runs, seedrow copies and literals. In the compression process, commands are buffered to enable independent and simultaneous operation of a run module, a seedrow copy module and a literal module used in forming the compressed data.
