Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a number of processing modules which apply a process to predetermined data in inputted print data; a detecting unit configured to detect a processing module that has performed a process during processing by the plurality of processing modules of print data inputted in a predetermined mode; and a setting unit configured to make a setting that enables a processing module detected by the detecting unit, after the end of the predetermined mode.
Claims30
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to predetermined data in inputted print data;
- a detecting unit configured to detect a processing module that has effectively performed a process during processing by the plurality of processing module of print data inputted in a predetermined mode;
- and
- a setting unit configured to make a setting that enables a processing module detected by the detecting unit, after the end of the predetermined mode.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to inputted print data, each of the plurality of processing module performing a process for detecting and replacing predetermined data in inputted print data if an enable flag of the processing module is in the on state and, if the processing module has replaced data, setting an execution flag of the processing module;
- and
- a control unit configured to turns on the enable flags of all of the plurality of processing modules at the start of a predetermined mode, provide print data to the plurality of processing modules, and maintain the on state of only the enable flag of a processing unit whose execution flag is in the on state at the end of the predetermined mode.
A method for controlling operation of an image processing apparatus including a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to predetermined data in inputted print data;
- comprising:
- a detecting step of detecting a processing module that has effectively performed a process during processing by the plurality of processing module of print data inputted in a predetermined mode;
- and
- a setting step of making setting that enables a processing module detected in the detecting step, after the end of the predetermined mode.
A method for controlling operation of an image processing apparatus including a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to inputted print data, each of the plurality of processing module performing a process for detecting and replacing predetermined data in inputted print data if an enable flag of the processing module is in the on state and, if the processing module has replaced data, setting an execution flag of the processing module;
- the method comprising:
- a first step of turning on the enable flags of all the plurality of processing modules at the start of a predetermined mode and providing print data to the plurality of processing modules;
- and
- a second step of maintaining the on state of only the enable flag of a processing module whose execution flag is in the on state at the end of the predetermined mode.
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to predetermined data in inputted data;
- a detecting unit configured to detect a processing module that has effectively performed a process during processing by the plurality of processing module of data inputted in a predetermined mode;
- and
- a setting unit configured to make a setting that enables a processing module detected by the detecting unit, after the end of the predetermined mode.
A data processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to inputted data, each of the plurality of processing module performing a process for detecting and replacing predetermined data in inputted data if an enable flag of the processing module is in the on state and, if the processing module has replaced data, setting an execution flag of the processing module;
- and
- a control unit configured to turns on the enable flags of all of the plurality of processing modules at the start of a predetermined mode, provide data to the plurality of processing modules, and maintain the on state of only the enable flag of a processing module whose execution flag is in the on state at the end of the predetermined mode.
A method for controlling operation of a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to predetermined data in inputted data;
- comprising:
- a detecting step of detecting a processing module that has effectively performed a process during processing by the plurality of processing module of data inputted in a predetermined mode;
- and
- a setting step of making setting that enables a processing module detected in the detecting step, after the end of the predetermined mode.
A method for controlling operation of a plurality of processing modules which apply a process to inputted data, each of the plurality of processing module performing a process for detecting and replacing predetermined data in inputted data if an enable flag of the processing module is in the on state and, if the processing module has replaced data, setting an execution flag of the processing module;
- the method comprising:
- a first step of turning on the enable flags of all the plurality of processing modules at the start of a predetermined mode and providing data to the plurality of processing modules;
- and
- a second step of maintaining the on state of only the enable flag of a processing module whose execution flag is in the on state at the end of the predetermined mode.
