Claim One:
1. A method of controlling operations of a printing device, having rendering components, to render an image on a recording medium, comprising: receiving non-rasterized page description language data and a corresponding transformation matrix representing transformation operations to be performed; rasterizing the non-rasterized page description language data to create rasterized data; determining an order of transformation operations to be performed, by the printing device, upon the rasterized data; decomposing the corresponding transformation matrix, based upon the determined order of transformation operations to be performed, by the printing device, upon the rasterized data, into a rotation transformation operation matrix, a first scaling transformation operation matrix, and a translation transformation operation matrix; decomposing the first scaling transformation operation matrix into a shear transformation operation matrix and a second scaling transformation operation matrix; generating a discrete rotation transformation operation value from the rotation transformation operation matrix; generating a discrete scaling transformation operation value from the second scaling transformation operation matrix; generating a discrete translation transformation operation value from the translation transformation operation matrix; generating a discrete shear transformation operation value from the shear transformation operation matrix; and controlling operations of the rendering components of the printing device, based upon the generated discrete transformation rotation operation value, the generated discrete transformation second scaling operation value, the generated discrete transformation translation operation value, and the generated discrete transformation shear operation value, to render the rasterized data as an image on a recording medium; said controlling operations of the rendering components of the printing device including controlling an orientation of the recording medium, controlling a speed of a photosensitive medium for recording a latent image, and controlling a magnification of an illumination device for recording a latent image.
