Image forming apparatus, image forming method, and computer program product

An image forming method performed by an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:

• storing, by a storage unit, print data and transformation data transformed into a printable format by reflecting a print condition on the print data in a storage unit;
• detecting, by a detection unit, an error when the transformation data stored in the storage unit is printed;
• deciding, by a decision unit, a resolution print condition which is a print condition for resolving an error based on a content of the error and a device state when the error is detected;
• acquiring, by a transformation unit, the print data from the storage unit and transforming the acquired print data into transformation data on which the decided resolution print condition is reflected;
• and
• printing, by a print control unit, the transformation data transformed by the transformation unit.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program codes, performed by an image forming apparatus, the program codes when executed causing the image forming apparatus to execute:

• storing, by a storage unit, print data and transformation data transformed into a printable format by reflecting a print condition on the print data in a storage unit;
• detecting, by a detection unit, an error when the transformation data stored in the storage unit is printed;
• deciding, by a decision unit, a resolution print condition which is a print condition for resolving an error based on a content of the error and a device state when the error is detected;
• acquiring, by a transformation unit, the print data from the storage unit and transforming the acquired print data into transformation data on which the decided resolution print condition is reflected;
• and
• printing, by a print control unit, the transformation data transformed by the transformation unit.
