This invention is a process for interconnecting an all points addressable printer (181) with a host application program (10) wherein the application presents output to be printed to the printer and wherein the host application can be present on a variety of different computing equipment such as a large host computer, a standalone workstation, or workstation on a local area network and wherein the all points addressable page printer can utilize any type of printing technology such as electrophotographic, magnetic or other and wherein the printer and the application host are interconnected by communicating means (17) such as a channel, local area network, or telecommunication line and wherein any type of transmission protocol can be used and wherein the process enables the transmission of commands and data from the host application to the printer in a manner which is independent of the communication means and transmission protocol. And, finally, wherein the process enables the transmission of a variety of types of data including text, graphics, image, or bar code which may be merged together on a single printed page.

摘要:
A computer-controlled printing system includes a host computer, an intelligent printer and an intelligent post printer processor. The print job is controlled by defining print data, printer control data and printer post processor control data in a print data stream from the host computer. The print data and printer control data are read at the intelligent printer. The intelligent printer executes the print control data to print the print data on a print medium. The printer also determines if there is post processor control data in the print data stream and, if so, sends the post processor control data from the printer to the intelligent post processor. The post processor reads the post processor control data, and executes the post processor control data to perform selected modification of the print medium. Selectable modifications of the print medium at the post processor include predetermined fixed printing of images, symbols or text, perforation of the print medium, cutting of the print medium, or user defined modifications of the print medium.
