6.10 IMAGE PROCESSING
Here is a brief summary of the steps in image processing:
• Print Job. The software application sends the print job to the printer driver.
• Band Processing. The print job gets divided into units of bands.
• Interlace Processing. The bands get broken into scan (print) units. Then the
bits get converted for the direction of printing.
• Multi-Band Processing. Processing for individual lines.
• Compression Processing. The data gets compressed on the PC side. Then it
goes to the printer.
• Decompression. The data gets decompressed when it gets to the printer.
• Line Direction Conversion. The lines get converted to match the direction of
printing. It gets rotated 90 degrees depending on whether the print job is for
Portrait or Landscape orientation.
• Print Job Processing. The print job gets output.
• Printer Output. The print heads on the carriage print the job.
