IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

In an image processing method, image information described by a page descriptor language is developed by the page descriptor language into a form not pasted with to-be-pasted image information, without reading out, for image development, the to-be-pasted image information from a unit for storing the to-be-pasted image information. The image information in the form not pasted with the to-be-pasted image information and the to-be-pasted image information are separately transmitted to a printer. The image information in the form not pasted with the to-be-pasted image information is compressed by reversible coding. The to-be-pasted information is compressed by irreversible coding.
