ABSTRACT:
A high speed image data interface between a print server containing a page description language decomposer and an interface card, and a printer containing a rendering card and a print engine, where the interface card is physically located in the printer case and is plugged into the backplane of the printer. The interface is synchronous and carries clock, page request, line request and reset signals from the renderer, and line valid, error and data signals from the interface card. Other communications between the printer and server are carried by a telephone line or local area network. The advantage of this arrangement is that the printer manufacturer can design the printer without having to design the interface card to match the server manufacturer's requirements.
