Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for generating a blank side of a page in a print job. Bitmap data is received for at least one side of at least one page of a print job. The bitmap data for the at least one side is sent to a printer engine to control the printer to print the print job over a data path. For a blank side in one page in the print job, a command is issued to resend bitmap data for one side previously sent to the printer engine. A further command is issued to disable the data path to cause the transmission of white data to the printer engine. This disabling of the data path prevents the resent bitmap data from reaching the printer engine, which, in turn, causes the printer to produce the blank side in response to receiving the white data.
