Method for avoiding print buffer underrun

摘要

In order to avoid print buffer under-run a printing method involves a printer printing a rendered first page of print data while another page is rendered in a connected computer. Simultaneously, a previously rendered page of print data is transmitted from the computer to the printer. Typically the connection between the computer and the printer is a relatively low bandwidth connection such as a USB, parallel port or 10 Base-T Ethernet connection. In order to rapidly transmit the rendered pages of print data across the low bandwidth connection the computer applies data compression to the print data.
