Abstract
An image processing apparatus is provided. An input image processor or NIC inputs a job containing image data and property information of the image data. An MFP controller stores the input job in a first memory. An image processing/RIP unit processes the image data in accordance with the property information. The MFP controller stores the job processed by the image processing/RIP unit in a second memory. An output image processor outputs the job in accordance with the property information. The MFP controller sets saving of the jobs in the first and second memories and, in outputting the saved job, indicates an enable/disable state of change of the property information in accordance with the saving method and receives change of the property information.
Claims18
A printing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to input a job containing image data and property information of the image data;
- a first memory configured to store the job input by said input unit;
- an image processing unit configured to process the image data of the job in accordance with the property information of the input job;
- a second memory configured to store the job processed by said image processing unit;
- an output unit configured to output the job in accordance with the property information of the processed job;
- a setting unit configured to set saving of the input job in said first memory and saving of the processed job in said second memory;
- and
- a control unit configured to control saving of the input job and the processed job in accordance with a saving method set by said setting unit and, in outputting the saved job, indicating an enable/disable state of change of the property information in accordance with the saving method and receiving change of the property information.
A control method of a printing apparatus having an input unit configured to input a job containing image data and property information of the image data, a first memory configured to store the job input by the input unit, an image processing unit configured to process the image data of the job in accordance with the property information of the input job, a second memory configured to store the job processed by the image processing unit, and an output unit for outputting the job in accordance with the property information of the processed job, comprising the steps of:
- setting saving of the input job in the first memory and saving of the processed job in the second memory;
- controlling saving of the input job and the processed job in accordance with the set saving method;
- and
- indicating an enable/disable state of change of the property information in accordance with the saving method and receiving change of the property information in outputting the saved job.
A program for controlling a printing apparatus having a processor executing the program, an input unit configured to input a job containing image data and property information of the image data, a first memory configured to store the job input by the input unit, an image processing unit configured to process the image data of the job in accordance with the property information of the input job, a second memory configured to store the job processed by the image processing unit, and an output unit for outputting the job in accordance with the property information of the processed job, the program comprising code for performing the following steps of:
- setting saving of the input job in the first memory and saving of the processed job in the second memory;
- controlling saving of the input job and the processed job in accordance with the set saving method;
- and
- indicating an enable/disable state of change of the property information in accordance with the saving method and receiving change of the property information in outputting the saved job.
