Abstract
A method is disclosed that enables changing of print commands for traditional line printers to character highlighting capabilities offered by modern non-impact type printers. The disclosed method provides a technique to look ahead in a stream of data to be printed and determining if a modification of the print is to occur. If so, a table of attributes is provided for indexing to the changed character for transmission to the printer.
