<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform printing of a plurality of copies more efficiently than a conventional method. <P>SOLUTION: The order in which bands are deleted is defined beforehand according to a band importance table. When the free space D of a hard disk 106 after storing a new printer command in a certain band is not larger than a threshold, printer commands stored in the hard disk 106 are deleted in units of bands in accordance with the defined band importance. When the free space D of the hard disk 106 becomes larger than the threshold, new printer commands are stored in units of bands into the hard disk 106. In controlling printing of the second copies onward, printer commands stored in the hard disk 106 are transmitted to a printer 200, and printer commands not stored in the hard disk are generated again. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
