Abstract

A data formatting system for formatting an unformatted data stream, and communicating the formatted data stream and a format to a printer output device. The data formatting system includes a format generator which enables user design and creation of formats for downloading to the printer interface apparatus. Newly designed formats can then be utilized with subsequent unformatted data streams to create output images on an output device.
