PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technique for suppressing output of a blank image and appropriately outputting an image to an output device in a spread state.SOLUTION: When one piece of image data among a plurality of pieces of image data is blank data and image data continuing to the one piece of image data is not the blank data, CPU of MFP stores output instruction data for outputting a blank image to an output device in storage means. When one piece of image data among the plurality of pieces of image data is the blank data and the image data continuing to the one image data is the blank data, the output instruction data for outputting the blank image to the output device is not stored in the storage means. Thus, output of the blank images for two continuing pages can be suppressed. The image in a spread state can appropriately be outputted by outputting the blank image for only one page which does not continue in an output mode in the spread state. |
