ABSTRACT:
A method of generating an image on a printable surface from a stream of incoming print data containing data of a first data type for generating an image of a first image type and containing data of a second data type for generating an image of a second image type, the method comprising the following steps. While printing in a first mode, depositing a first partial density image swath having a first swath width on the printable surface to overlap at least a portion of a partial density image swath previously printed on the surface, thereby generating a shingle tab extending from the previous swath having a first length. After depositing the first swath, the surface is advanced by a first amount. While printing in the first mode, incoming print data is scanned to determine whether the incoming print data includes the second data type. If so, there is a transition to a second print mode, which includes depositing a second partial density image swath having a second swath width different from the first swath width on the printable surface to overlap at least a portion of a partial density image swath previously printed on the surface, and generating a shingle tab extending from the previous swath having a second length different from the first length. After depositing the second swath, the surface is advanced by a second amount different from the first advance amount.
