<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly parallelize image processing for executing an image formation output, and improving processing efficiency, in an image forming device that has a plurality of calculation means. <P>SOLUTION: An image forming device 1 can perform image processing by either a first core 11 or a second core 12. The device includes a PDL analyzing part 210 which analyzes page information for outputting a drawing command, drawing information generating parts 222 and 226 for generating drawing information based on the drawing command, a load distribution deciding part 224 which distributes the processing for generating drawing information so that either the first core 11 or the second core 12 controls it, and an intermediate data processing part 222 which determines a processing amount for generating the drawing information based on the drawing command. If it is determined that there is a large amount of processing for generating drawing information, the generation processing for drawing information is distributed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
