Processing a Page
Your printer can print page by page or it can behave as a line printer. This
section describes how the printer prints page by page. (The
User's Manual
explains the two printing methods in more detail.)
Your IPDS-capable printer builds a page by gathering all the page descriptor
commands and data blocks that are specified in the data stream.
Page descriptor commands instruct the printer to create and position a logical
page, which rests within the perimeter of the physical page.
