PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation apparatus with high productivity.SOLUTION: In an image formation apparatus having a secondary storage device such as an HDD, when a job input is accepted (S101), there are judged the necessity of image data input processing to the secondary storage device in the job and the necessary of image data output processing from the secondary storage device, respectively, and the timing of the input and output processing (S105, S121). Then, according to the judgment result, an output buffer, which is a region set to a primary storage device of the image formation apparatus, to be used for the image data output processing from the secondary storage device is changed to a buffer to be used for the input processing or a buffer to be used for the output processing (S107, S124). |
