IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND MEDIUM

摘要

The present invention is an image forming apparatus for interpreting data to generate intermediate data and the image forming apparatus includes: a unit configured to determine whether or not there is a periodic drawing pattern in data; a unit configured to determine whether or not there is a reduction command in data; a unit configured to obtain a ratio between the number of pitches of the period of the drawing pattern and a reduction ratio included in the reduction command; a unit configured to determine whether or not the ratio and a value in a table loaded by the image forming apparatus coincide with each other; and a unit configured to reduce, in the case where it is determined that the ratio coincides with a value in the table, an image by dividing the image into cells and performing thinning processing in units of cells.

1. An image forming apparatus for interpreting data to generate intermediate data, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a unit configured to determine whether or not there is a periodic drawing pattern in data; a unit configured to determine whether or not there is a reduction command in data; a unit configured to obtain, in a case where it is determined that there is a periodic drawing pattern in data and that there is a reduction command in data, a ratio between the number of pitches of the period of the drawing pattern and a reduction ratio included in the reduction command; a unit configured to determine whether or not the ratio and a value in a table loaded by the image forming apparatus coincide with each other; and a unit configured to reduce, in a case where it is determined that the ratio coincides with a value in the table, an image by dividing the image into cells and performing thinning processing in units of cells.
