Job management in image output devices

摘要

There is described an image-processing apparatus that is provided with a receiving section to receive jobs, each of which includes image data; an arithmetic calculating section to convert the image data to print data for every job; a storage section to store the jobs received by the receiving section and the print data converted by the arithmetic calculating section for every job; an outputting section to output the print data to a printing section for every job; and a controlling section to control a receiving processing applied for the jobs in the receiving section, a conversion processing applied for each of the jobs in the arithmetic calculating section and an output processing applied for each of the jobs in the outputting section. Accordingly, the image-processing apparatus can separately control a receiving state of each of the jobs, a converting state of each of the jobs and an outputting state of each of the jobs.
