Apparatus and method for maximizing a rate of image data transfer in a printing system

摘要

A printing system for processing one or more images of a job is provided. The printing system includes a video bus (Vbus) communicating with both a first transfer module (36c) and an image processing section (22). In operation, a first segment of the job is processed in the image processing section while a second segment of the job is buffered in the first transfer module. Subsequently, the first segment of the job is transferred away from the image processing section, with a second transfer module, coincidentally with the the second segment being transferred to the image processing section. <IMAGE>
