Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting data representative of a plurality of cells arranged independently of one another on a page into data is raster scan order for subsequent printing. Cell data for individual cells is fetched in an order dependent on the line of raster scan where the cell first occurs and the bit position for the first bit representing the cell. This cell data is compared with earlier fetched cells to build up raster scan lines from cells occuring in the lines.
