          Application No. 08/966,453                                                  


               printer controller 24 and the like processing, thus the                
               CPU generalizes and controls the whole system.                         
          The examiner additionally relies upon col. 7, lines 48-55, which            
          recites that:                                                               
                    First, the CPU 22 (FIG. 5) feeds a command having                 
               such meaning that converts a prescribed number of                      
               element information beginning with a specified address                 
               in the element memory 23 into raster information to an                 
               instruction register 25b of the image processor 25                     
               whereby the image processor 25 starts conversion                       
               processing of a series of element information into                     
               raster information.                                                    
          From this disclosure of Suzuki, we find that CPU 22 controls                
          operations of the respective devices in accordance with a                   
          predetermined program.  Targets of the control include                      
          "processing for converting element information into raster                  
          information by means of the image processor 25" (col. 5, lines              
          51-53).  We further find that CPU 22 feeds commands for                     
          converting a prescribed number of element information beginning             
          with a specified address in the element memory 23 “into raster              
          information to an instruction register 25b of the image processor           
          25, whereby the image processor 25 starts conversion processing             
          of a series of element information into raster information"                 
          (col.7, lines 51-55).                                                       
               From these disclosures of Suzuki, we find that although CPU            
          22 controls the whole system, and feeds commands for the
