Provided is an image processing apparatus adapted to inform the user of the time that is required to elapse before an image forming command can actually be executed, thereby eliminating any anxiety that the user might otherwise experience. Specifically, there is provided an image processing apparatus for forming an image by analyzing and decoding a received printing signal and then storing the signal in a page memory in the form of code data, and converting the the code data stored in the page memory into a bit image, including a processing-time calculating unit for calculating time, which is required for conversion to the bit image, based upon analysis of the inputted printing signal, and an informing unit for informing a user of the time calculated by the processing-time calculating unit, wherein the processing-time calculating unit further calculates preparation time required for forming the image from the bit image.
