<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and a printer controller, which enable completion of drawing processing of an individual page so as to maintain a continuous printing state.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus includes: a drawing time prediction part 21 for predicting drawing time required for drawing individual page; an order drawing processing part 24 for drawing allocated pages in the order of printing; an advance drawing processing part 23 for drawing an allocated page in advance in the order of printing; a drawing processing allocation part 25 for allocating either of the order drawing processing part 24 and advance drawing processing part 23 for execution; and a startup part 26 for outputting printing startup related to a drawing completed page to an image forming part in the order of printing. Further, in the case of having drawing of allocation target pages being executed in the order of printing, and if the timing of completing the drawing is within a start time limit for the pages to be printed in a continuous printing mode, the pages are allocated to the order drawing processing part 24 for drawing, while if the aforementioned timing is outside the start time limit, the pages are allocated to the advance drawing processing part 23 for drawing.</p> |
