Patent number: 6671064Abstract: An object optimized printing system and method comprises a page description language decomposing system, a command instruction and data generating system and an image output terminal controller. The PDL decomposition system inputs a print file defining a plurality of pages in the page description language and locates the plurality of objects forming each page and their object types. Based on the determine object types and any explicit rendering commands in the PDL file, the PDL decomposition system automatically generates rendering tags for each of the objects. The rendering tags are used to control the command instruction and data generating system, the IOT controller and/or the image output terminal to optimize the printing by the IOT on an object-by-object basis. Based on the objects and the generated rendering tags, the command instruction and data generating system generates the differing types of data and the command instructions on a scanline-by-scanline basis.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: David E. Rumph, Robert M. Coleman, Charles M. Hains, James K. Kenealy, Mark T. Corl, Russell R. Atkinson, Michael F. Plass, Eric S. Nickell, L. Dale Green, Robert R. Buckley
