Data flow to a printing device

摘要

A method of increasing data flow to a printing device includes, with a first raster image processor, converting a document into a first bitmap having a first dot density and representing a black color plane of the document; with a second raster image processor, converting the document into a second bitmap at a second dot density that is a relatively lower dot density than that of the first bitmap, the second bitmap representing other color planes of the document; and transmitting data of the first and second bitmaps to a printing device for printing to a print medium.

1. A method of managing data flow to a printing device comprising:
with a first raster image processor, converting a document into a first bitmap having a first dot density; storing data representing a black color plane of the document; with a second raster image processor, converting the document into a second bitmap at a second dot density that is a relatively lower dot density than that of the first bitmap; storing data representing at least one other color plane of the document; printing the data representing the black color plane on a print medium; and printing the data representing the at least one other color plane on the print medium using a relatively higher volume of printable fluid than used in printing the data representing the black color plane.
