Method and apparatus for printing according to a graphic language

摘要

A method and apparatus for generating graphic language document description commands based on print commands that include device-independent print commands. The printing apparatus predicts resource usage for a printing operation, determines whether resources available in the printing apparatus are sufficient for the predicted usage, and changes the printing operation in the case where it is determined that there are insufficient resources available for the currently-specified printing operation so that it is possible to print the image within existing resource constraints.
