| 摘要 |
This invention is a printer (30) which contains a print engine (31) for printing an image onto a physical medium. The print engine (31) receives signals representing the image to be printed directly from an external computer (20). The printer (30) is coupled to the external computer (20) by a high speed serial bus (26) that enables the printer (30) to print the images without prior interim storage of the signals in an onboard buffer in the printer (30). The signals may be processed in the external computer (20) before being transmitted to the printer (30), thereby eliminating the need for a processor onboard the printer (30).
