Supporting multiple print engine configurations through compatible delay window storage modes

摘要

The system, methods and hardware described herein relate to processing raster data on an EP (electrophotographic) process printing device. A hardware ASIC supports multiple EP print engine configurations through a common delay window block that presents a variable two-dimensional view of raster data formatted in a consistent manner that is compatible for processing by various enhancement blocks. Benefits of the disclosed system, methods and hardware include decreased development costs for EP printers due to a reduced need to design, test, and manufacture different ASICs for numerous EP print engine configurations.
