Abstract
The present invention provides an image-processing apparatus that can generate image data from inputted print data, store the generated image data in storage, perform notification about the generation state of the image data, obtain identification information, and output the stored image data based on the obtained identification information. Subsequently, the image-processing apparatus can reduce the time a user spends in waiting in front of a printer until printing is finished.
Claims13
An image-processing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input print data;
- a generation unit configured to generate image data from the print data;
- a storage unit configured to store the image data in storage;
- a notification unit configured to perform notification about an image-data-generation state of the generation unit;
- an identification input unit configured to input identification information;
- and
- an output unit configured to output the stored image data based on the identification information input via the identification input unit.
4 more elements
An image-processing method comprising steps of:
- generating image data from print data;
- storing the image data in storage;
- performing notification about an image-data-generation status during the image data is generated;
