Abstract
A printing system includes intelligence for balancing throughput, image quality and memory requirements. The printing system includes intelligence for determining whether to print a page in an interleaved mode or in a single page mode. Color pages containing poorly compressed color separations are printed in a single page mode so as to ensure that all of the color separations of the page may fit into the available memory and that system throughput is sufficient. The pages that are not printed in an interleaved mode are printed in a single page mode. The resolution of color data contained in a page that is to be printed in a single page mode may be reduced to fulfill system throughput and memory requirements.
