ABSTRACT:
The invention provides for a printer having a controller configured to perform 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 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 bi-level data, compositing the bi-level black layer over the bi-level data to form an image, and printing the composite image with a pagewidth printhead.
