Abstract: A system and method for generating a delayed clock signal of an input clock signal involves selectively delaying the input clock signal to produce the delayed clock signal based on the duty cycle of the input clock signal and the duty cycle of a logic signal derived from a logic operation of the input clock signal and the delayed clock signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing image data are disclosed. The method includes the step of partitioning the image data into a plurality of data portions (?Page) for processing. Each data portion comprises a plurality of rows of pixels corresponding to at least one print swath height. The data portions are processed in a plurality of intermediate processing stages. The data portions are processed sequentially. The number of pixels per row of a data portion is determined to be just large enough ensure adequate output printing data for a given print head at all times. The processed data is then delivered to the print head in a just-in-time manner (JIT). An apparatus for processing the image data comprises an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).
