Print Data Processing

Flow Chart

The key roles of each part of the print system are outlined below.

The drivers are responsible for generating the page description on the host system and for
transmitting data to the printer.

The I/O manager mediates the connection with the network interface and establishes a device or
print manager connection.

The print manager is responsible for spooling the job (if appropriate) and for feeding jobs to the
correct PDL interpreter.

The PDL interpreters are responsible for turning page descriptions into rendered pages and for
parsing job management comments.

The compression subsystem manages compressed pages in memory.

The page manager coordinates pages for sending to the engine for the most efficient printing,
finishing, and accessory handling.
