Abstract
Methods of providing lower resolution format data into higher resolution format are described. In one embodiment a first predetermined amount of image data is provided which is to be rendered onto a print medium. The first predetermined amount of image data is provided in a first resolution format. Using the first predetermined amount of image data, the first predetermined amount of image data is replicated into multiple predetermined amounts of data sufficient to provide said first predetermined amount of image data into a second resolution format which is greater than the first resolution format. At least one laser beam in a laser printer system is modulated using the multiple predetermined amounts of data.
