Multi function device and program therefor

A computer program product comprising computer readable instructions that cause a computer system to serve as an image processing apparatus capable of printing an image on a recording medium, the instructions causing the computer system to execute the steps to:

• initialize print settings;
• allow to modify the initialized print settings;
• retain the modified print settings for a predetermined time;
• receive data;
• store the data;
• calculate an available storage area of the storage unit and a size of print data in accordance with the print settings when the data is received under a condition where the modified print settings are retained;
• compare the available storage area of the storage with the size of the print data, the comparing unit outputting a signal in response to a condition where the size of data exceeds the available storage area;
• and
• modify, in response to the memory shortage signal, the print settings so that the print data is stored in the available storage area.
