Patent ID: 8154743

Claim:
A method for processing a print data to a printer, comprising: processing the print data through an optimized tester; the optimized tester transforming the print data by simplifying each page image in the print data into a transformed, simplified, emulated print data, which preserves only information needed for testing printing logic and printing sequence to be performed by a print engine of the printer while printing by the printer of each page, and information in each page to enable recognizing identity of each page; and sending the transformed, simplified, emulated print data to the printer, wherein sending the information (in the transformed, simplified, emulated print data) needed for testing printing logic and printing sequence to be performed by a print engine of the printer while printing by the printer of each page to the printer enables testing permutations of functionality combinations of the printer's features, and sending the information (in the transformed, simplified, emulated print data) in each page to enable recognizing identity of each page to the printer enables output of information for each page to enable recognizing identity of each page.
