An object is to appropriately control a fixing process while making an attempt to increase speed by improving the PPM in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus. In the electrophotographic image forming apparatus, the control unit decompresses compressed quantized raster image data in units of pages. Then, the control unit derives an image feature quantity from decompressed raster image data in units of pages and notifies the printing unit of the derived image feature quantity. Then, the control unit transfers the decompressed raster image data to the printing unit in units of pages in response to an image transfer request from the printing unit. The printing unit sets a parameter relating to a fixing process in the printing processing based on the notified image feature quantity. Then, the printing unit performs the printing processing in accordance with the set parameter for the decompressed raster image data received from the control unit.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
A control method of an image forming apparatus comprising a printing unit configured to perform printing processing by an electrophotographic method and a control unit configured to control the printing unit, the control method comprising the steps of, by the control unit:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method of an image forming apparatus comprising a printing unit configured to perform printing processing by an electrophotographic method and a control unit configured to control the printing unit, the control method comprising the steps of, by the control unit:
