Abstract
An apparatus for printing job data, includes a rendering unit configured to rasterize the job data into bitmap data, a print engine unit configured to print the rasterized job data, and a control unit configured to transmit the job data to the rendering unit, to receive the rasterized job data, to transmit the rasterized job data to the print engine unit. The control unit switches between saving the rasterized job data in a spool space and inspecting the job data without saving the job data to the spool space, depending on free space situation of the spool space.
Claims15
An apparatus:
- a rendering unit configured to rasterize job data into bitmap data;
- a print engine unit configured to print the rasterized job data;
- and
- a control unit configured to transmit the job data to the rendering unit, receive the rasterized job data, and transmit the rasterized job data to the print engine unit,
