Abstract
A generation unit configured to receive image data and to generate print data from received image data; a printing control unit configured to form an image on a sheet based on print data generated by the generation unit; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a delay in generation of the print data has occurred based on a data amount of the received image data and a data amount of print data generated by the generation unit; and an issuance unit configured to issue a command to insert an auxiliary pattern in a case where the determination unit determines that the delay has occurred are included.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor operating to:
- receive image data;
- generate print data from the received image data;
- control to form an image on a sheet based on the generated print data;
- determine, based on a difference between a data amount of the received image data and a data amount of the generated print data, whether a delay in generation of the print data has occurred;
- and
- issue a command to add pattern data which is not based on the received image data to the generated print data, according to the determination that the delay has occurred,
- wherein an image based on the print data, which has not been generated at the time of the determination of delay, is formed after an image based on the added pattern data.
An image processing method comprising the steps of:
- receiving image data;
- generating print data from the received image data;
- controlling to form an image on a sheet based on the generated print data;
- determining, based on a difference between a data amount of the received image data and a data amount of the generated print data, whether a delay in generation of the print data has occurred;
- issuing a command to add pattern data, which is not based on the received image data, to the generated print data, according to the determination that the delay has occurred at the determining step.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an image processing apparatus, the program comprising:
- code for receiving image data;
- code for generating print data from the received image data;
- code for controlling control to form an image on a sheet based on the generated print data;
- code for determining, based on a difference between a data amount of the received image data and a data amount of the generated print data, whether a delay in generation of the print data has occurred;
- and
- code for issuing a command to add pattern data, which is not based on the received image data, to the generated print data, according to the determination that the delay has occurred,
- wherein an image based on the print data, which has not been generated at the time of the determination of delay, is formed after an image based on the added pattern data.
