Abstract
Pre-rendering prior receiving a command to print is disclosed for a pre-rendering system. In an apparatus therefor, a print engine is in communication with and hosts the pre-rendering system. The pre-rendering system is configured to receive a print job in a page description language. An image processor is configured to pre-render the print job to provide a pre-rendered document image.
Claims9
An apparatus, comprising:
- a printer engine;
- a pre-rendering system in communication with printer engine and configured to receive a print job in a page description language;
- an image processor configured to pre-render the print job to provide a pre-rendered document image;
- and
- wherein:
- the image processor is a raster image processor in firmware of a printer;
- the firmware is configured with at least one interpreter for the page description language;
- the pre-rendering system is embedded in the printer engine;
- the image processor is configured to provide the pre-rendered document image as a compressed binary data representation of the print job;
- the image processor is configured to parse and process a document of the print job prior to pre-rendering into the pre-rendered document image;
- and
- the printer is configured to prepare, configure and send the pre-rendered document image to a cache memory for one or more subsequent push printings thereof.
