ABSTRACT:
A method for extending a print area provides a printer with the capability of printing a larger image by extending the print area during the printing of an image. The method extends the print area by means of a window driver which transmits an image to be printed to a printer according to a print command input. The method includes a first print step of the window driver for transmitting a first portion of the image to be printed on a piece of paper, the first portion being bounded by a lower end margin of the piece of paper, and a second print step of the window driver for transmitting a second portion of the image to be printed on a portion of the piece of paper below the lower end margin of the paper. Accordingly, since the printable area becomes larger by reducing the lower end margin of the printer to the level of the upper end margin, documents created by a user (such as CAD drawings, graphics and charts) are printed without being cut.
