<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print data processing method for performing parallel processing to a PDL conversion process, an image forming process, or the like by using a plurality of CPUs or a multi-core (multiple core) CPU having a plurality of cores inside one CPU, and by making the process a multi-threaded configuration. <P>SOLUTION: In this print data processing method, a print data processor operating on a host device having a plurality of processing means performs: a conversion process for converting print data into a PDL command; a command storage process for sequentially storing the converted PDL command in a command storage section; an image data generation process for reading the PDL command from command storage means, and generating image data; an image storage process for storing the image data generated by the image data generation processing in an image storage section to be stored with the image data; and a transmission process for reading the image data from the image storage section, and transmitting the data to printing means. The plurality of processing means sequentially execute the processes every time an execution request for each of the processes occurs. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
