PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow for efficient sending of the processing results of each part to the processing of a subsequent stage, even if the capacity of a memory available for the image processing is limited, when dividing a series of image data into a plurality of parts and performing image processing in parallel.SOLUTION: When a memory determination unit 213 determines that the capacity of a processed data storage region 223 storing the processed data 240, the image information after image processing by an image processing engine 216, is a predetermined reference or more, a memory control unit 214 instructs start of image processing of the job data 231 of the next page, for any one of a plurality of image processing engine 216 that is not executing the image processing. After the image processing of the job data 231 of one page is completed, and the start instruction is received, each image processing engine 216 secures a region required for the processed data storage region 223, and starts image processing of the job data 231 of the next page.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
