Image processing apparatus and controlling method therefor

A control method for controlling a printing apparatus comprising:

• inputting a job data;
• writing the job data to a memory device;
• reading the job data from the memory device;
• processing the job data for print processing;
• managing the memory device by classifying the memory device into a plurality of storage areas including (i) a first storage area for storing a job data written in the writing step, (ii) a second storage area which stores a job data which is read in the reading step and processed in the processing step, and (iii) a third storage area which is a free storage area;
• and
• writing a job data to the memory device so that the job data is stored in the second storage area in priority to the third storage area in a case where the job data to be stored in the memory device is inputted and the second storage area exists.

A computer-readable memory medium for storing a program that cause a computer to implement a control method for controlling a printing apparatus,

• wherein the method comprising:
• inputting a job data;
• writing the job data to a memory device;
• reading the job data from the memory device;
• processing the job data for print processing;
• managing the memory device by classifying the memory device into a plurality of storage areas including (i) a first storage area for storing a job data written in the writing step, (ii) a second storage area which stores a job data which is read in the reading step and processed in the processing step, and (iii) a third storage area which is a free storage area;
• and
• writing a job data to the memory device so that the job data is stored in the second storage area in priority to the third storage area in a case where the job data to be stored in the memory device is inputted and the second storage area exists.

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• an input unit adapted to input an image data;
• a writing unit adapted to write the image data to a memory device;
• an image processing unit adapted to read the image data from the memory device and process the image data;
• a memory control unit adapted to manage the memory device by classifying the memory device into a plurality of storage areas including (i) a first storage area for storing an image data written by the writing unit, (ii) a second storage area which stores an image data which is read and processed by the image processing unit, and (iii) a third storage area which is a free storage area;
• and
• wherein in a case where the input unit inputs an image data and the second storage area exists, the writing unit writes the image data to the memory device so that the image data is stored in the second storage area in priority to the third storage area.
