          Appeal No. 1998-0671                                                        
          Application 08/285,328                                                      

          This higher resolution image cannot be printed by the printer and,          
          so, is rescanned to the original resolution of the image.  The              
          rescanned image will include a number of gray level pixels, as shown        
          in figure 5.  Prior to printing, the pixel values are subjected to a        
          quantizing process where gray level pixel values are reduced to             
          binary values, preferably through an error diffusion process which          
          operates only on gray pixels.
