Appeal No. 1998-0893
Application No. 08/196,440
BARRETT, Administrative Patent Judge, concurring.
I concur with the decision of Administrative Patent Judge
(APJ) Lall reversing the Examiner's rejection based on Coons
and Isaka, but write separately to provide additional
comments.
Initially, I agree with APJ Lall that while Isaka
discloses reverse printing, it does not do so in the claimed
way using inserted first and second control codes. The
controller in Isaka interprets commands to construct the data
into paged data (e.g., D1, D2, D3) that is stored in the page
buffer memory (translation, p. 5). Thus, it appears that a
controller program, not an inserted control code, is used to
separate the pages of data. The header addresses of the data
D1, D2, D3, etc. in Isaka are stored in a separate table
memory and the inversion takes place by changing the sequence
of header addresses (translation, pp. 6-7). The use of header
addresses in the table memory of Isaka is similar to
Appellants' disclosure of registers containing the
start-of-page addresses (specification, p. 6, lines 6-15);
however, this does not cure the deficiency that Isaka
apparently does not use inserted control codes.
