Appeal No. 96-3950 Application No. 08/131,056 and ordering data blocks to the previously discussed decompression feature as operations to be performed on the serialized data. In our view, since Dennis clearly discloses (columns 16 and 17) the blocking of data as part of the development of print data, the assembling and ordering of these blocks in addition to decompression would necessarily have to be performed at the printer in the "option 1" mode. With respect to the limitations regarding the sending of image initialization commands to the printer and the subsequent sending of serializable print data from host to printer after initialization, the Examiner (Answer, page 3) has referenced column 14, line 60 through column 15, line 4 and column 27, lines 27-35 of Dennis. The first passage involves the sending of status commands from the host computer to the printer while the second involves the selection of options or modes of operation. The Examiner argues at page 9 of the Answer that the claimed limitation is met since Dennis provides for communication of commands from the host to the printer and "initialization" is disclosed as being mode selection in Appellants’ specification. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
