Claim Text:
1. A method for printing a large data file, implemented in a print server and a printer connected with each other, the method comprising: the print server sequentially extracting multiple consecutive data chunks from the data file; the print server sequentially transferring the multiple consecutive data chunks to the printer; the printer sequentially performing raster image processing (RIP) for the multiple consecutive data chunks to generate raster image data for each data chunk; and the printer sequentially printing the raster image data of the multiple consecutive data chunks; wherein prior to extracting a current data chunk, the print server calculates a first coefficient α wherein prior to extracting the current data chunk, the print server calculates a size of the current data chunk based on a size of a fifth previous data chunk and the first to fourth coefficients α
