1. A system for selectively sizing a bitmapped image comprising:
- means adapted for receiving image face format data representative of regional output format settings of bitmapped image data in a controller associated with a document rendering device;
means adapted for receiving, from a storage associated with the controller, region data representative of regional default output characteristics associated therewith;
alteration means adapted for generating a modified bitmapped image by performing at least one of a truncation and resizing of the bitmapped image data in the event that the regional output format settings do not correspond with the regional default output characteristics ; and
means adapted for outputting the modified bitmapped image data to the associated document rendering device.

Abstract
A system and method for converting an image to the available paper size being used by the image forming apparatus. A print job is sent to a spooler. A RIP processor then generates image faces for the print job. After the RIP process, the image forming apparatus converts the print job to the paper being used by the image forming apparatus. The print job may also be scaled if desired. Typical conversions are Letter size to A4, A4 to Letter size, Ledger size to A3, and A3 to Ledger size.

8. A method for selectively sizing a bitmapped image comprising the steps of:
-
receiving image face format data representative of regional output format settings of bitmapped image data in a controller associated with a document rendering device; receiving, from a storage associated with the controller, region data representative of regional default output characteristics associated therewith; generating a modified bitmapped image by performing at least one of a truncation and resizing of the bitmapped image data in the event that the regional output format settings do not correspond with the regional default output characteristics; and outputting the modified bitmapped image data to the associated document rendering device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
