IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE OUTPUT SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an image processing device and an image output system by which printing throughput can be improved by efficiently performing input and output of data in an appropriate manner according to the magnitude correlation between the size of an image memory provided for an image forming device and the size of raster image data subjected to rasterization.

SOLUTION: A memory control part of the image processing device which performs rasterization calculates data amount of raster image data to be transmitted to the image forming device. It performs control so that the raster image data may be stored in a second memory composed of a magnetic storage medium when the data amount is larger than the available storage capacity of the image forming device and performs control so that a first memory composed of a semiconductor memory may store the raster image data when the data amount is equal to or smaller than the available storage capacity of the image forming device received from a transceiver.
