Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementing adaptive rasterized print data management. The printing system is able to acquire a print job and instructions for printing multiple copies of the job. The control unit is also able to initiate processing of a first copy of the print job, to instruct a Raster Image Processor (RIP) to rasterize a data segment of the print job, and to determine a transfer time to transfer the rasterized data segment to a marking engine if it were stored at the first memory. Further, the control unit is able to determine a threshold value, and to facilitate storage of the rasterized data segment at the second memory if the transfer time is greater than the threshold value.
