HOST APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND PRINTING DATA PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

An image forming apparatus for shortening an engine driving start point, includes an interface to receive printing data including a first page of a printable document as rasterized data and page information from a host apparatus; an engine unit to perform printing; and a main controller to print the rasterized data first by driving the engine unit using the page information in response to the printing data received through the interface. Thus, the printing speed is enhanced.
