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. 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
