A method for converting an image from a bit map to a run end or run length representation includes the steps of: storing said image as a bit map representation; initializing all variables to be used in the conversion process; converting by table lookup, each run of continuous color to a run representation, storing, in a run representation buffer, as a count value, each run representation; repeating the steps of converting and storing for each run of continuous color to the end of the image.
