Abstract
Methods of providing lower resolution format data into higher resolution format are described. A laser printing system is provided having first and second lasers configured to receive and be driven by raster data. Image data, which is to be rendered onto a print medium is received in a first resolution format. The first resolution format is converted into a second resolution format which is greater than the first resolution format by mapping the image data to provide mapped image raster data in the second resolution format. The first laser is driven with a portion of the mapped image raster data, and the second laser is driven with another portion of the mapped image raster data.

A method of providing lower resolution format data into a higher resolution format comprising:
- providing a laser printing system having first and second lasers configured to receive and be driven by raster data;
- receiving image data which is to be rendered onto a print medium, the image data being received in a first resolution format;
- converting the first resolution format into a second resolution format which is greater than the first resolution format by mapping the image data to provide mapped image raster data in the second resolution format;
- driving the first laser with a portion of the mapped image raster data;
- and
- driving the second laser with another portion of the mapped image raster data.
