PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and an image forming method by which image data are prepared for performing image processing at high speed and while saving memory. SOLUTION: Vector data are generated from data scanned by a scanning unit. In this case, a printing direction is determined from a content input from an operating unit or information on an device at an output destination. If the printing direction and the scanning direction differ from each other, control of an order of the data is performed to prepare a document after rotation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
