Printing apparatus capable of converting image data

A printing apparatus, comprising a controller,

• the controller comprising:
• a memory;
• a computer;
• a program comprising a plurality of modules executable by the computer;
• a first electronic circuit configured to convert and output input data;
• and
• a second electronic circuit configured to convert and output input data and configured to execute a conversion different from a conversion executed by the first electronic circuit, the second electronic circuit being connected to the first electronic circuit by a connection line,
• the plurality of modules comprising:
• a reception module configured to cause the computer to execute a receiving processing in which the computer receives image data and a print setting;
• a registration module configured to cause the computer to execute a job-registration processing in which the computer registers a job based on the image data and the print setting, with a job-management module;
• and
• the job-management module configured to cause the computer to execute a job processing in which the computer creates print data by converting the image data indicated by the registered job, outputs the created print data, and processes the registered job,
• the job-management module comprising:
• a first sub-module configured to cause the computer to execute a first conversion processing in which the computer uses the first electronic circuit to convert conversion target data related to the image data, to first converted data;
• a second sub-module configured to cause the computer to execute a second conversion processing in which the computer converts the first converted data to second converted data;
• a third sub-module configured to cause the computer to execute a third conversion processing in which the computer uses the second electronic circuit to convert the second converted data to the print data;
• and
• a fourth sub-module configured to cause the computer to execute an output processing in which the computer outputs the print data,
• the job-management module being configured to cause the computer to execute:
• a judgement processing in which the computer determines whether the computer causes the second sub-module to execute the second conversion processing, based on at least one of the print setting indicated by the registered job and setting information stored in the memory;
• a non-ganged-fashion-execution instructing processing in which, when the computer determines that the second conversion processing is to be executed, the computer inputs, to the first sub-module, a first instruction for causing the computer to execute the first conversion processing to store the first converted data into the memory, the computer inputs, to the second sub-module, a second instruction for causing the computer to execute the second conversion processing to store the second converted data into the memory, and the computer inputs, to the third sub-module, a third instruction for causing the computer to execute the third conversion processing to output the print data;
• and
• a ganged-fashion-execution instructing processing in which, when the computer determines that the second conversion processing is not to be executed, the computer inputs, to the first sub-module, a first ganged-fashion-execution instruction for causing the computer to execute the first conversion processing to input the first converted data to the second electronic circuit via the connection line, and the computer inputs, to the third sub-module, a second ganged-fashion-execution instruction for causing the computer to output the print data based on data obtained by conversion executed by the second electronic circuit.
