<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a spool memory is increased as a high resolution is progressed when printing image data by a conventional page spooling manner, and the problem that an image generation process synchronized with a high-speed printer engine cannot be easily assured in a vector format structure composed of a reduced-size memory. <P>SOLUTION: Image data are divided into a plurality of blocks, and an attribute constituting each of the blocks is determined. According to attribute information, an image generation processing time is predicted (S403). According to the prediction result, the preparation processing of converting the data for image generation is carried out so that the image generation processing can be carried out within a print time, thereby assuring the image generation processing synchronized with the high-speed printer engine. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
