PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To respectively arrange attribute data and image data in succession in a virtual address space while reducing a load to a resource, such as a processor and a memory in an image processor.SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus 1, a data generation part 32 sequentially generates image data showing a color and/or gradation of each pixel in a page image and attribute data showing attribute in each pixel in the page image, and stores the image data and the attribute data in a RAM 12 about each of a plurality of page images. Then, a mapping setting part 33 sets mapping data such that attribute data about the plurality of page images are arranged in succession in the virtual address space, and that image data about the plurality of page images are arranged in succession in the virtual address space. |
