Image processing device, image processing method, and image processing program storage medium

An image processing method comprising:

• converting, using a plurality of first conversion sections provided for each of a plurality of print processors, print data described in page description language into raster image data and outputting the converted raster data to the plurality of print processors, each of the plurality of print processors corresponding to different colors and performing printing of a corresponding color onto a recording medium;
• converting, using a second conversion section, the print data into raster image data and outputting the converted raster data to any of the plurality of print processors;
• and
• selectively performing a first control that causes the plurality of first conversion sections to convert the print data that has been input in parallel, or a second control that causes the plurality of first conversion sections and the second conversion section to convert the input print data in parallel.

A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute image processing, the image processing comprising:

• converting, using a plurality of first conversion section provided for each of a plurality of print processors, print data described in page description language into raster image data and outputting the converted raster data to the plurality of print processors, each of the plurality of print processors corresponding to different colors and performing printing of a corresponding color onto a recording medium;
• converting, using a second conversion section, the print data into raster image data and outputting the converted raster data to any of the plurality of print processors;
• and
• selectively performing a first control that causes the plurality of first conversion sections to convert the print data that has been input in parallel, or a second control that causes the plurality of first conversion sections and the second conversion section to convert the input print data in parallel.
