Abstract
A system and method for converting an image to the available paper size being used by the image forming apparatus. A print job is sent to a spooler. A RIP processor then generates image faces for the print job. After the RIP process, the image forming apparatus converts the print job to the paper being used by the image forming apparatus. The print job may also be scaled if desired. Typical conversions are Letter size to A4, A4 to Letter size, Ledger size to A3, and A3 to Ledger size.
