Title: Steven Eric Sneller: Printing Data-Flow Innovation

Introduction

Steven Eric Sneller is an inventor associated with Corvallis, Oregon, and Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. His listed work focuses on improving how image data is prepared and delivered to printing devices. He is credited with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Sneller’s listed patent, “Data Flow to a Printing Device,” describes a method for increasing the flow of data to a printer. The method uses a first raster image processor to convert a document’s black color plane into a bitmap at a higher dot density. A second raster image processor converts the document’s other color planes into a bitmap at a relatively lower dot density. The two bitmaps are then transmitted to the printing device for printing on a medium.

This approach assigns different resolutions to the black and other color planes, with the aim of managing the data sent to the printer. The supplied information lists the same patent description twice.

Career Highlights

Sneller’s listed patent work is associated with Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The described invention addresses raster image processing and data transmission in printing systems.
