  • Printer effort reduction through caching and reduction
    Patent number: 6384936
    Abstract: A system and method simplify shapes for printing. A first shape is received by an output device such as a printer. The first shape is stored in a temporary storage cache. A second shape is received by the output device. The first shape is compared to the second shape. The first and second shapes are divided into overlapping and non-overlapping portions. The non-overlapping portions of the first shape are re-cached. The non-overlapping portions of the second shape are buffered until they are processed. The overlapping portions of the first and second shapes are simplified.
