Translation of "Print stream" in German

This print data stream is output to a selected printer in Step S 30 .

The unframed print of Stream will be shipped rolled up in a postal tube.

The unframed print of Mountain Stream will be shipped rolled up in a postal tube.

Single-sheet-related information is determined from a print data stream with the aid of a controller 39 .

This print data stream is in particular an AFP, LCDS or PCL print data stream.

Printer-specific grey value curves or suitable dithering matrices can also be taken into account in the generation of the print data stream.

The unframed print of A Stream by a Wood will be shipped rolled up in a postal tube.

The unframed print of Stream in Val d'Aosta will be shipped rolled up in a postal tube.

The unframed print of Trout Stream in the Tyrol will be shipped rolled up in a postal tube.

The unframed print of Stream in the Woods will be shipped rolled up in a postal tube.

For most systems, recourse can be made to archiving the print stream.

High-capacity printing systems (whose printing speed is, for instance, 40 pages up to over 1000 pages of DIN A4 per minute) advantageously process print data streams such as, for example, a print data stream based on a Page Command Language (PCL), an Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) print data stream or a printer-side Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) corresponding to the AFP print data stream.

An additional print data stream standard distributed in high-capacity printers is the Line Condition Data Stream (LCDS) of Xerox Corp.

SUMMARY It is an object to specify methods and devices for processing a print data stream in which an improvement of the quality of the print images to be produced with the aid of a high-capacity printing system is possible in a simple and flexible manner.

Via the methods and devices according to the preferred embodiment for processing a print data stream it is achieved that various methods for improving the print image can be implemented even in printers and data streams that do not inherently support this image improvement function.

In some embodiments of the invention, the image information (in particular trapping information) that serves to improve the print image is added to the print data already contained in the print data stream so that the original print data are not lost.

In additional embodiments of the invention, multiple alternative items of image information or trapping information can also be generated and integrated into the output print data stream.

These trapping raster images are then added to the print data stream, which contains the print data of the input data stream as well as at least the raster images with the trapping information and/or raster images with print images to improve the overall print image and is output as an output data stream.

The print server 18 of the preliminary print stage 17 selects a suitable high-capacity printer from the available high-capacity printers 30 through 36 for the output of a print job and supplies a suitable print data stream to this suitable high-capacity printer.

The print data of an AFP print data stream 40 that is supplied to the second input folder (Hotfolder 2) are processed into raster images with the aid of the raster image process (RIP) and are subsequently supplied to the trapping module (TP).

This print data stream is supplied by the printer selection to a print queue (DWS 1 through DWS 8) that is associated with a printer that is suitable to output print images corresponding to the print data.
