PRINTING PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently collect printing pixel information which are raster- processed in plural arithmetic processors on a network and to improve the processing speed of a whole system. SOLUTION: A fragment tag where management information of a printing job fragment is described and a tag table where management information of a printing job in division/scheduling is described are generated in generating a printing job fragment in a printing job division means 4 based on resource information. The printing job fragments are raster-processed in a raster processing means 7 and are compression-processed in a compression processing means 8 in respective arithmetic processors 1b.... Partial compression picture element information are collected with the corresponding fragment tags, based on the tag table in the printing job collection means 2a of the printing device 2 and are synthesized in a page unit, based on the tag table and the fragment tag in a synthesis processing means 2b. A printing job restoration means 2c restores compression pixel information in the page unit.
