Abstract:
1. A method for printing shingling print data in a shingling print pass of a multi-shingling-pass print swath comprising the steps of: a) generating the shingling print data in a computer; b) compacting the shingling print data in the computer by removing deterministic voids associated with the shingling print algorithm; c) sending an expander control sequence based on the shingling print algorithm to the printer from the computer, wherein the expander control sequence includes a detailed map of the expanded print placement of each of the data bits present in the compacted shingling print data; d) sending the compacted shingling print data to the printer; e) expanding the compacted shingling print data in the printer in accordance with the expander control sequence; and f) printing the expanded shingling print data using the printer without having stored the expanded shingling print data in the printer.
