PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transfer data in a hard disc(HD) at a high rate with no error when image data stored in the HD is developed to an RAM and printed out. SOLUTION: Color image data is processed and developed temporarily onto an RAM 24, stored data is transferred to an HD 25 at a specified data unit (page/plane), data stored in the HD is transferred to that RAM, and then that data is outputted to an imaging section while being interlocked with that transfer operation. At the time of transfer from the RAM to the HD, transfer time is measured, stored in units of plane (or may be maximum value/average value), transfer time from the HD to the RAM is predicted with that value, and print start (output timing to the imaging section) interlocked with the transfer operation to the RAM is determined in relation to the print speed of the imaging section. |
