Abstract

A multi-interpreter printer recognizes out-of-band characters by measuring pauses in applied data streams and examining as candidate out-of-band characters data portions separated in time from other data by pauses exceeding predetermined durations. Pauses before-and after the candidate out-of-band characters may be examined, and different thresholds may be used for pre-character and post-character pauses.
