Abstract

A method for converting original print data of one resolution N into print data of a higher resolution M. The small segment N1 original data is determined by comparing N to M and deriving the smallest fraction therefrom. Additional data is added to the original data by inserting M1-N1 blank data commands evenly between each of the original data. Each inserted blank is converted to a print command when the preceding and following original data are print commands.
