A printer according to the present invention receives a PDL via a network. Thereafter, the printer creates metadata by interpreting the received PDL and extracting rendering attribute information used in each page. The printer generates vector data from the PDL. Based on setting information on the printer, the printer generates a display list from the vector data. The generated vector data, display list and metadata are stored in a storage device in the printer in association with each other. Thus, output efficiency is improved.
