2.5.2 Printing flow
The following outlines the flow of operations for using this printing system.
The printer driver receives print commands from applications.
Data is transmitted to this machine over a USB interface when this machine is used via a USB connection,
or over an Ethernet interface (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, or AppleTalk) when this machine is used via an Ethernet
connection. The data is then delivered from this machine to the printer controller that performs image
rasterization (development of output characters and images to bitmap data) and printed by the printing
mechanism of this machine.
