A determining unit calculates an estimated time until drawing data is transmitted to an engine, and transmits the drawing data, a print instruction, and the estimated time to the engine. An activating/terminating unit activates or terminates each unit of the engine. A confirming unit inquires the controller of presence of drawing data of a next page, and acquires an estimated time. An activation/termination controlling unit controls the activating/terminating unit when it is judged that the estimated time is longer than a sum of a time required for activating units of the engine and a time required for terminating the units. |
