Description

Monochrome HBPLv2 B/W Xerox models currently supported by foo2hbpl2 are:

- Xerox Phaser 3010			B/W
- Xerox Phaser 3040			B/W
- Xerox WorkCentre 3045		B/W

However there are others, such as WorkCentre 5016/5020, which use rastertoxrrb1 executable and seemingly uses different output structure.

Check if it's supported.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing foo2hbpl2 support for the listed Phaser and WorkCentre models with the rastertoxrrb1 executable used by WorkCentre 5016/5020. Investigate whether the different output structure is already handled; done means establishing and documenting support status, or defining the implementation scope if it is not supported.
