Printing control apparatus, printing method, and printing control program

A printing method for generating, from an image, print data to be used in printing and writing the print data to a storage unit, and reading the print data from the storage unit and causing a printing unit to perform printing onto a printing medium based on the print data, the printing method comprising:

• provided that n is an integer equal to or greater than one, when a printing control step is repeated that includes a plurality of types of processing configured to be performed simultaneously,
• in the printing control step performed for an n-th time, writing, to a first storage medium included in the storage unit, n-th print data that is the print data generated in the printing control step performed for an n-th time;
• and,
• in the printing control step performed for an n+1-th time, writing, to a second storage medium included in the storage unit, n+1-th print data that is the print data generated in the printing control step performed for an n+1-th time, and also reading the n-th print data from the first storage medium and supplying the n-th print data to the printing unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a printing control program for causing a computer to achieve functions of generating, from an image, print data to be used in printing and writing the print data to a storage unit, and reading the print data from the storage unit and causing a printing unit to perform printing onto a printing medium, based on the print data, the printing control program comprising:

• provided that n is an integer equal to or greater than one, when repeating printing control processing including a plurality of types of processing configured to be performed simultaneously,
• in the printing control processing performed for an n-th time, writing, to a first storage medium included in the storage unit, n-th print data that is the print data generated in the printing control processing performed for an n-th time;
• and,
• in the printing control processing performed for an n+1-th time, writing, to a second storage medium included in the storage unit, n+1-th print data that is the print data generated in the printing control processing performed for an n+1-th time, and also reading the n-th print data from the first storage medium and supplying the n-th print data to the printing unit.
