<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the disadvantage that preprocessing, such as a warm-up, in an image processing apparatus by a print instruction from a host device prolongs processing time accordingly. <P>SOLUTION: User instructions are logged in history, and features of a user instruction corresponding to a print instruction are extracted from the history to generate feature data. A user instruction is matched against the feature data (S605), and if the user instruction matches the feature data, a signal for print preprocessing instruction is output (S607) and a print instruction is output. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
