Patent ID: 7965422

Claim:
A system that facilitates printing of microtext, comprising: a processing component that allows a user to create one or more microtext characters, wherein the characters are output as a data packet; an SRE code store that receives and associates one or more SRE codes with the data packet, each SRE code being of a higher level resolution that is representative of a bit pattern, wherein the bit pattern is a grid comprising a lower level number of bits that are filled to create a particular pattern representative of at least a portion of a microtext character, wherein the SRE code store employs at least one of a look-up table, an algorithm, an instruction set, a process and an application to associate the data packet with one or more SRE codes; a font bank that receives the one or more SRE codes from the SRE code store and defines a font in which the SRE codes are represented; and a raster image processor that receives the font from the font bank, decodes the font and outputs instructions to print the microtext based at least in part upon the SRE codes identified in the decoded font.
