Abstract

See full text

In a method of imposing selected pages defined in a sequence of page descriptions included in a PostScript.RTM. file, the selected pages are interpreted by an interpreter and may be transmitted to a raster memory for rendering on a flat by an output device. If the current page is a selected page to be rendered on the flat, a virtual device is defined as the output device for the selected page such that the virtual device specifies an area in a raster memory for positioning the selected page on the flat, and the selected page is interpreted. If the current page is not a selected page, a next page is determined as selected page to be rendered on the flat, the virtual device is defined for the next selected page as the output device for the non-selected page, and the non-selected page is interpreted.
