Patent abstract
The present invention solves the problem set forth above by providing a method for accelerating the production of a standalone copy of a document by a peripheral device. The invention employs a white space map of the document to be copied. The map is generated by the ASIC chip and is used by the device to identify areas of the outputted copy that do not require ink or toner. This reduces the processing resources necessary to print the copy, thus speeding up copy production.
