ABSTRACT:
This invention provides for a method of page expansion and printing of image data received from a computer. The method includes the steps of receiving a page description from the computer, the page having a bi-level black layer compressed in an EDRL (Edge Delta and Runlength) format and a continuous tone (“contone”) layer, and decompressing the respective layers in parallel. The method also includes the steps of halftoning the contone layer data to a bi-level data and compositing the bi-level black layer over the bi-level data to form an image, and transmitting the image data for printing to a pagewidth printhead arrangement. The method includes operating the printhead according to one of a low-speed nozzle firing mode and a high-speed firing mode, the low-speed firing mode having a firing rate half that of the high-speed firing mode.
