Patent attributes
The present invention belongs to the field of printing control technology, and is especially one kind of printing control method with reducing printing memory requirement. The available printing technology always needs complicated segment forming gratings in advance and occupying great amount of memory. The printing control method of the present invention includes interpreting the page data as banded intermediate format data, calculating the time for forming grating of each band of the intermediate format data, pre-analyzing the bands with time for forming grating greater than the printing time, and arranging the job of forming grating of the complicated bands in the idle print time as far as possible. The said method can reduce the band number of forming gratings in advance and reduce the printing memory requirement.
