摘要： A method for controlling printing of a print job involves portioning the print job into a plurality of parts via a partition manager, and converting each part of the print job into respective binary image data parts via a Raster Image Processor (RIP) manager. The method further involves controlling a rate of aggregation of the converted parts via a throttle control manager. The rate of aggregation is controlled by monitoring parameters of a printing system used to perform the printing of the print job, determining that at least one of the monitored parameters reaches or exceeds a predefined threshold, and manipulating the rate of aggregation of the converted parts in response to the determining according to a throttle mode predefined for a particular set of monitored parameters.

摘要： Systems and methods of reusing binary bitmaps for images appearing multiple times in a print job. In one embodiment, a system stores a binary bitmap for an image that appears in a print job. The system determines an offset of the binary bitmap into a sheetside, and calculates position values for the binary bitmap based on the offset of the binary bitmap. The system identifies a next appearance of the image in the print job, determines an offset of the image into a sheetside for the next appearance, and calculates position values for the next appearance of the image based on the offset of the image. The system determines if the position values for the image correspond with the position values for the binary bitmap, and verifies that the binary bitmap is reusable for the next appearance of the image if the position values correspond.

摘要： An image-forming system prevents a print overrun error even if there are bands of divided data having different band heights. An image-forming system has a band divider to divide image data into a plurality of bands each containing divided image date, a loader to load the bands into a band memory, and an output unit to sequentially output the bands from the band memory to a print engine at predetermined timing. The band divider can change the height of at least one of the bands from the height of the remaining bands. The band memory includes VRAMs into which a band of bitmap data whose band height is higher than a threshold is loaded and an auxiliary VRAM (VRAM-special) into which a band of bitmap data whose height has been changed.

摘要： The present invention is directed to providing, in an apparatus and method for generating print commands suited to a particular printing apparatus, both high-speed printing of simple pages that are relatively easily processed as well as improved continuous throughput of complex pages that are relatively difficult to process. The apparatus obtains and integrates data size and command numbers from the generated print commands and switches the print command generation from page units to band units when it appears likely that the page memory will be exceeded, thus mixing page unit print commands and band unit print commands in the same page to achieve improved throughput.
