Figure 2-12. PostScript with embedded image: normal scan
order
The following example illustrates the requirements for embedding
and printing an image in an enhanced scan. If a large number of
images are to be printed, it is best to avoid the internal rotation. To
do this, you must include the data in the order in which it is required,
which means that the fast scan direction for the image is bottom-to-
top, and the slow scan direction is left-to-right.
Assuming that the data was reordered in this way, the following
example shows a fragment of PostScript that produces the same
output as the previous fragment.

% Example using embedded CCITT group 4 (G4) data.
% Example using data in "normal" scan order, which has the fast scan
% direction left-to-right, and the slow scan direction top-to-bottom.
% Page size is roughly 8.5x11 (slightly clipped).
% Data has resolution of 300 spots per inch.
% Fast scan direction for the image is left-to-right across the page.
% Slow scan direction for the image is top-to-bottom down the page.
% This scan direction requires 90 degree internal rotation for
DocuPrint.
