Abstract

See full text

Embodiments described herein provide for dynamic storage of raster data at a rip spool while printing copies of a multiple copy print job. When printing multiple copies of a print job, some of the print data for the print job is rasterized once, spooled, and de-spooled multiple times for each copy of the print job. The rest of the print data for the print job is rasterized multiple times for each copy of the print job. In the embodiments described herein, additional storage space on the rip spool that becomes available while printing multiple copies of a print job is utilized to store additional raster data for the print job. This reduces the amount of the print data for the print job that is rasterized multiple times.
