          Appeal No. 96-1082                                                          
          Application 08/275,882                                                      

               This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134                 
          from the examiner’s rejection of claims 10-17, which                        
          constitute all the claims remaining in the application.                     
          The disclosed invention pertains to a method for                            
          displaying a preview of a text string as it will actually                   
          appear on a peripheral device, such as a printer, based on the              
          nature of the application running and the selected peripheral               
          device.  More particularly, query parameters are used to                    
          access a table which stores bit maps containing a facsimile                 
          response of a combination of an application and a peripheral                
          device.                                                                     
          Representative claim 10 is reproduced as follows:                           
               10. A method of assembling an image for display of a                   
          combined response of at least an application and a peripheral               
          device from bit maps of image data including the steps of                   
               determining at least one of first, second and third query              
          parameters in accordance with at least one of said application              
          and said peripheral device,                                                 
               obtaining a table address in response to a query portion               
          containing first and second query parameters,                               
               addressing at least one bit map containing a facsimile                 
          response of a combination of an application and a peripheral                
          device in response to said table address, a text string and a               
          third query parameter, and                                                  
               displaying said at least one bit map.                                  

                                          2
