Abstract: The invention proposes a method and system for printing data in XHTML-PRINT format from a mobile device wherein a converter is added before the raster image processor to convert the XHTML-PRINT data into a POL. The method enables existing printers to be XHTML-PRINT ready and makes the production of future XHTML-PRINT ready printers easier by the addition of XHTML-PRINT to POL converter in the printing scheme. The approach is simpler, convenient and cost effective and enables time to market for manufacturers of printers supporting XHTML-PR/NT mechanism.
WE CLAIM
1. A method of printing data in XHTML-PRINT format from a mobile device, wherein XHTML-PRINT to PDL converter is embedded before the raster image processor of the printing machine in that by using the XHTML-PRINT to PDL converter:
i) input data of XHTML-PRINT is parsed by the parser;
ii) Parsed JPEG data is converted into bitmap by the bitmap converter;
iii) using Text and Vector processor, font and vector implementation is carried
out; and
iv) optionally HTTP Client is added to the printer and the printer is network
enabled.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile device is a Personal Digital
Assistant (PDA).
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the mobile device is a mobile phone.
4. The method of printing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the XHTML-PRINT parser parses the input data and depending on the nature of the data, the parsed data is sent for processing to either of the following modules Viz. bitmap converter, font and vector processor and /or HTTP client. s/w
5. The method of printing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the JPEG to bitmap )
converter when receiving the JPEG data converts it into bitmap and passes on to the
v Raster Imagfe Processor (RIP).
6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the printer is XHTML - PRINT aware.
7. The method of printing as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the HTXP client is,
, added to the printer only the URL of a document is provided to the XHTML-PRlNT-
supported Printer.
8. A system for printing the data in XHTML-PRINT format from a mobile device
