ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing first copy out times of printed matter. To implement the method, a request to print at least a portion of the printed matter is executed. Then, a uniqueness identifier is generated in a host computer, the uniqueness identifier specifically associated with the at least a portion of the printed matter. Next, the uniqueness identifier is compared to a list of uniqueness identifiers stored in memory. If the uniqueness identifier is found in the list of uniqueness identifiers, at least a portion of the printed matter is printed using data stored in a memory location referenced by the list of uniqueness identifiers. If the uniqueness identifier is not found in the list of uniqueness identifiers, the uniqueness identifier is stored and a reference to data is stored in memory pertaining to the at least a portion of the printed matter in the list of uniqueness identifiers.
