  • Printing processing apparatus, method, and system, and computer readable recording medium for processing at various resolutions
    Patent number: 8373890
    Abstract: A printing processing device that includes an analyzing unit that analyzes the components of print data. Based on the analysis results, a first raster processing unit performs raster processing at a first resolution for the print data of a portion of the components of the print data other than an optically read printing portion. Similarly, based on the analysis results, a second raster processing unit that performs raster processing at a second resolution higher than the first resolution, for the print data of the optically read printing portion of the components of the print data. Further, the printing processing device includes a resolution conversion unit that converts the print data that has been processed by the first raster processing unit into the second resolution and a synthesizing unit that synthesizes the print data that has been converted into the second resolution by the resolution conversion unit and the print data that has been processed by the second raster processing unit.

  • Print control method for a tandem printing system
    Patent number: 7038808
    Abstract: A print control method for a tandem printing system having a host unit which supplies print data to a plurality of printers which are connected by a tandem-connection, includes the step of controlling synchronous operations of the plurality of printers by a single tandem control unit which is operable independently of the host unit and is provided independently of the plurality of printers.
