ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A two-dimensional page representation to be printed has a combination of text, graphic and image representation types. A data memory stores data representative of the page representation. A program memory stores program instructions including a plurality of different algorithms for compressing data associated with corresponding different representation types and their combinations. A processor is coupled to the data and program memories for (a) identifying separate data for each of a plurality of regions containing collectively the page representation, with the data for each region corresponding to the portion of the page representation contained in that region; (b) determining the types of representations and boundaries of each type of representation and the combinations of types contained in each region; (c) rasterizing and compressing the data associated with the determined types of representations for each region with algorithms based on selected compression factors; (d) storing sequentially the compressed data for each region; and (e) when needed for printing, sequentially for each region, reading the corresponding stored data, decompressing the read data, and transmitting the decompressed data to the print device for printing. 43
