Patent ID: 8823759

Claim:
A method comprising: providing pixel data corresponding to an image to be printed on a print medium, wherein the pixel data comprises a plurality of lines of pixel data, wherein the plurality of lines of pixel data comprises (i) a first line of pixel data, (ii) a first shared line of pixel data, and (iii) a second line of pixel data, wherein the first line of pixel data, the first shared line of pixel data, and the second line of pixel data are three consecutive lines of pixel data of the plurality of lines of pixel data, wherein the first shared line of pixel data comprises a plurality of sections, wherein the plurality of sections comprise a first group of sections and a second group of sections, and wherein each section of the first group of sections is interleaved between two corresponding sections of the second group of sections; and printing the image on the print medium, wherein printing the image on the print medium comprises based on laser pulses generated by a first laser generation component of a plurality of laser generation components, printing the first group of sections of the first shared line of pixel data on the print medium, based on laser pulses generated by a second laser generation component of the plurality of laser generation components, printing the second group of sections of the first shared line of pixel data on the print medium, wherein the second laser generation component is different from the first laser generation component, based on laser pulses generated only by a third laser generation component of the plurality of laser generation components, printing the first line of pixel data on the print medium, and based on laser pulses generated only by a fourth laser generation component of the plurality of laser generation components, printing the second line of pixel data on the print medium.
