2.2 Flow of Print Data
2.2.1 Data Flow
Print data (electric signals) from the Printer Controller follows the flow shown below
to become a print image.
Figure 2-17. Overview of Producing Print Image
<Reference> Formation of 2-D print image:
One line of the dot image is formed by turning the laser beam from the laser diode
ON and OFF in accordance with the electric signals (VIDEO signal: expresses the
image data by voltage levels) from the printer controller.
A single-color image (2-D dot image) is completed by performing the above
operation repeatedly over the entire surface of the image. To obtain a full color
image, formation of 2-D dot images is performed for each of the four colors.
Resolution is determined as follows:
•
Main direction : dots/inch
•
Sub direction : Lines/inch
