A sychronized image transformation processing method for a printer is
described for transformation of to-be-printed information into CMYK
bitmap information, which may be actually printed by the printer, in
which a rendering image process (RIP) device and a color matching and
screening (CMS) device are provided for such image transformation. In
this method, the RIP and CMS devices are operated synchronously by
controlling resource and processing sequence of image segment buffers
with software queues, so that a printer engine may rapidly receive the
transformed CMYK bitmap information and thus print the to-be-printed
information.
