Chapter 2 "PCL" - 82

If the control bit is 1, replacement data is repeated data. Bits 6 to 5 contain the offset count and bits 4 to 0

contain the 'replacement count(repeat count) - 2'.

If bit 6 and bit 5 are '1', then an optional offset byte follows the control byte. If the value of this optional offset

byte is 255, another (second) optional offset byte follows the first optional offset byte. The addition of the offset

count in the control byte and any optional offset bytes gives the total offset count.

If bits 4 to 0 are all '1', an optional replacement count byte follows the control byte or any optional offset

byte(s). If the first optional replacement count byte has a value of 255, a second optional replacement count

byte follows the first optional replacement count byte. Optional replacement count bytes will continue until the

value becomes less than 255.
