ABSTRACT Raster image processor and method for generating binary raster scans from symbolic input commands. The processor is particularly suitable for use in a computerized laser engraving system such as a laser platemaker, an artwork generator for printed circuits, or an intelligent copier. Descriptive data for the characters which make up an output image is generated by a computer and stored in a character memory, and symbolic input commands which point to the location of the descriptive data in the character memory is generated by the computer and stored on a line-by-line basis. As the output beam scans the output medium, the descriptive data for each successive character to be imaged is retrieved from the character memory and processed to provide serial output data for modulation of the output beam.
