ABSTRACT:
An output device is enabled to obtain character descriptions for use in raster scanning characters which belong to a common character font. Character descriptions are stored in an external device which is linked to the output device by a communication channel. Character codes are received at the output device which identify characters to be outputted. A raster image of the characters to be outputted is set up. In the course of setting up the raster image, information corresponding to the character codes is sent from the output device to the external device via the communication channel. In response to the character codes sent from the printer to the external device, corresponding character descriptions are sent from the external device to the output device via the communication channel.
