Introduction to host-based printing TheHP LaserJet M1319 MFP is a host-based product. Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by computing the print job on the host computer rather than computing it in the product formatter. Figure 4-1 Host-based printing system overview As a host-based printing system, the printer driver uses Windows to convert the graphics device interface (GDI) or device driver interface (DDI) calls from software programs into JBIG (standard-compression) compressed pages. These pages are sent in "chunks" through the printer driver to the product formatter. The printer driver also receives status messages from the formatter firmware. These messages are passed to the Status Application, which displays them on the computer. The product formatter has 4 MB of flash memory and 32 MB of random access memory (RAM). Both the firmware and the compressed page must fit into the 32 MB of RAM. 106 Chapter 4 Host-based printer driver features for Windows ENWW
