<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved image forming apparatus for a limited memory environment by performing in-place line splitting for multiple beam or dual beam print engines. <P>SOLUTION: In a method of rasterizing a print image plane for a multiple beam printer engine, the print image plane rasterization includes: (a) calculating a first line destination for a first line of print data; (b) moving the first line of print data to the first line destination; and (c) calculating a displaced line destination for a displaced line of print data, and continually moving the displaced line of print data to the displaced line destination until the displaced line of print data is moved to the first line and forms a loop. The process is repeated until each of the plurality of lines of print data has been moved to a line destination associated with each line of the image. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
