Appeal No. 2001-2106
Application No. 08/856,183
A review of the applied prior art confirms that Bertram
relates to the use of SCSI bus interface and driver to connect
laser printers to computers and move the image rasterization from
the printer side to the host computer (page 106, lefthand
column). According to Bertram, using SCSI removes the need for a
specific printer language and insures faster data transfer and
screen images that are more consistent with the printed images
(page 107, lefthand column). However, as contended by the
Examiner, Bertram includes nothing related to the claimed print
requests received as a series of method invocations using
commands in a Java object oriented language syntax.
JLS, on the other hand, identifies Java as a general-purpose
object-oriented programming language and discloses the
specification of the syntax and semantics of Java language (page
4). More specifically, JLS describes the evolution of Java as
completely compatible with existing applications wherein Java
compilers and systems are capable of supporting the several
different versions of Java simultaneously and with complete
compatibility (id.). Furthermore, to provide various choices for
downloading the language specification, JLS lists HTML, PDF and
Postscript as the available download formats on page 1.
