Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a control device. The control device operates as a printer. The printer executes: a font spreading step of spreading font data to a RAM after start of processing for printing; a report creation step of using the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step to create a report; a report printing step of printing the report created in the report creation step; and a font deletion step of deleting the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step from the RAM, and executes the font deletion step after the report creation step.
Claims6
An image forming apparatus comprising a control device that comprises a processor and functions as a printer through the processor executing a control program,
- the printer executing:
- a font spreading step of spreading font data to a RAM (random access memory) after start of processing for printing;
- a report creation step of using the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step to create a report;
- a report printing step of printing the report created in the report creation step;
- and
- a font deletion step of deleting the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step from the RAM, and
- executing the font deletion step after the report creation step.
A printing method comprising:
- a font spreading step of spreading font data to a RAM (random access memory) after start of processing for printing;
- a report creation step of using the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step to create a report;
- a report printing step of printing the report created in the report creation step;
- and
- a font deletion step of deleting the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step from the RAM,
- wherein the font deletion step is executed after the report creation step.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with a printing program stored therein, the printing program allowing a computer to operate to execute:
- a font spreading step of spreading font data to a RAM (random access memory) after start of processing for printing;
- a report creation step of using the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step to create a report;
- a report printing step of printing the report created in the report creation step;
- and
- a font deletion step of deleting the font data spread to the RAM in the font spreading step from the RAM, and
- execute the font deletion step after the report creation step.
