Abstract
A system for operatively connecting a source of a quantity of digital data having an image data format associated therewith, and an output device to create a print of the original image based on the digital data. A library includes a plurality of selectable format variable sets, each format variable set corresponding to an image data format. A portion of the quantity of digital data is polled for evidence relating to the presence of one image data format. A format structure operates the output device to print an image based on the digital data according to the format variables entered therein. One of the format variable sets is entered into the format structure, based on evidence in the portion of the quantity of digital data.
