摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of a computer program for executing a RIP (raster image processor) for generating an image using a banding mode while maximizing the throughput of the RIP.;SOLUTION: The RIP using a self-tuning banking mode automatically and continuously adjusts the band size used for generating the raster image based on past performance (i.e. past data throughput values) and corresponding band sizes. At the start of each page of image, or after a certain number of pages has been processed or a certain amount of time has elapsed, the RIP determines whether performance has worsened since the last band size adjustment. If it has worsened, the band size is reverted to a previous best performance value. If the performance has improved, the band size is changed in the same direction as the last change. Raster image processing is performed using the adjusted band size.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
