PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption by storing read image data in a storage part and simultaneously performing image forming processing such as exposure, development, transfer and fixing. SOLUTION: The data in a storage part 2 are simultaneously read out and processing such as exposure, development, transfer and fixing is continuously performed to the simultaneously read data by a photoreceptor drum 13, exposure part 15, development part 17, transfer part 19 and fixing part 21. When the batch output of user can not be discriminated, the data in the storage part 3 are successively read out, image forming processing is performed, and the data in the storage part 3 are deleted. Namely, since image forming processing such as exposure, development, transfer and fixing is simultaneously performed while storing the read image data in the storage part 3, the starting processing of fixing part requiring high power especially among processing is simultaneously performed and power consumption can be remarkably reduced. |
