ABSTRACT:
A hardware implementation of a method of decompressing delta row compressed data to uncompressed data having line buffer memory 70 with incrementally advanceable current address 72. Offset counter 78 is used to determine the number of repeating bytes of data stored in line buffer memory 70 for a first row are to be reused in a second row, and replacement counter 76 is used to store the number of sequential replacement data bytes. A RAM controller state machine 84 reads data bytes from line buffer memory 70 to a laser printer engine, and after reading, checks through decompression state machine 82 to determine if a replacement data byte is called for at the current address in the next row of data, writing it in if called for, otherwise, merely incrementally advancing to the next current address in the line buffer memory.
