DOT ARRAY PAGE COMPRESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A method for compressing dot array pages is provided, which comprises the following steps: dividing the dot matrix pages to be compressed into at least two dot matrix page parts; processing each dot matrix page part obtained after division; determining the element type with the largest proportion in the dot matrix page part; and selecting a corresponding compressing mode to compress the dot matrix page part according to the determined element type with the largest proportion. Accordingly, an apparatus for dot array page compressing is provided. The technical proposal disclosed by the present invention can solve the problem that the same compressing method is applied to compress the whole dot matrix page in the prior art, so that the contradiction between compressing proportion and compressing rate can not be well relieved.
