Claims

A method of processing print data in a printing system comprising a host and a printer connected to each other by a bidirectional communication interface, the method comprising: classifying data to be printed by the printer in correspondence with preset performance variable items; And the host or printer selectively renders the classified data according to the printer performance of the item.

The method of claim 1, wherein the host checks performance indices of the printer corresponding to the performance variable items whenever a print request is generated.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the performance variable items include a memory capacity, a bit area block transmission processing time, a line draw processing time, a font download processing time, a scaling processing time, a bitmap processing time, Wherein the print data processing method comprises the steps of:

4. The host computer according to claim 3, wherein the host selects one of the host and the printer so as to optimally render the performance index corresponding to the item classified as the performance variable item, by comparing the performance index between the host and the printer Wherein the print data processing method comprises the steps of:

A method of processing print data in a printing system comprising a host and a printer connected to each other by a bidirectional communication interface, the method comprising the steps of: confirming performance index information of the printer corresponding to preset performance variable items each time the host generates a print request; The method comprising the steps of: classifying data to be printed by the host to correspond to the performance variable items by the host; and transmitting, by the host, data corresponding to the performance variable items Determining whether the host processing data is one of the host and printer processing data, converting the host processing data into bitmap data and transmitting the printer processing data to the printer as print data, Host's Award Transmitting performance index information of the host to the host in response to the performance index information confirmation; confirming whether or not the printer processing data is transmitted to the printer from the host; Wherein the print data is converted into the bitmap data and is transmitted to the engine of the printer together with the bitmap data processed by the host.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the determining is performed by the host to compare one of the host and the printer so as to optimally render the performance index corresponding to the item of the performance parameter item, Wherein the print data processing method comprises the steps of:

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the sorting step divides the data to be printed by the host into bands of a predetermined size, and classifies the data of each band so as to correspond to the performance variable items. Processing method.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the performance variable items include a memory capacity, a bit area block transmission processing time, a line draw processing time, a font download processing time, a scaling processing time, a bitmap processing time, Wherein the print data processing method comprises the steps of:

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the figure of merit information is stored in advance in the memory of the printer as a figure of merit for each of the performance variable items.
