    Abstract: A method for marking an article of merchandise with content represented by a bitmap stored in a source array of a source memory includes identifying, within a destination memory, a destination array. The destination array has a first region having boundaries aligned with boundaries of a first data chunk of the destination memory, and a second region having boundaries aligned with a second data chunk of the destination memory, the second data chunk being smaller than the first data chunk. A first region of the source array is copied onto the first region of the destination array in units of the first data chunk, and a second region of the source array is copied onto the second region of the destination array in units of the second data chunk.
