METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SENDING PRELIMINARILY COMPRESSED DATA WITHOUT LOSS TOGETHER WITH ADJUSTED PRINT PARAMETER FOR VERY LARGE FINE-RESOLUTION IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To send image data fast with high fidelity from an application program run in a Windows(R) environment to a Postscript(R) printer (e.g. a printer, a copying machine, or facsimile equipment). SOLUTION: This method for printing an image according to preliminarily compressed non-text raster image data with loss by using a Windows operating system controlling a printer comprises a step for receiving the preliminarily compressed non-text raster data with loss, a step for adjusting the data to the file specification format that the printer expects without performing recompression with loss, and a step for handing the adjusted data over to the printer by the Windows operating system without the recompression with loss.
