Image forming apparatus and image forming system
An image forming apparatus includes: an operation unit; an image forming unit; a control unit making the image forming unit perform an image formation; a data acquisition unit obtaining an image formation object data; a data conversion unit converting the image formation object data to an image formation format data; and a plurality of memory regions storing the image formation format data, wherein when the data acquisition unit obtains the image formation object data, the control unit makes the data conversion unit convert the image formation object data to the image formation format data, makes each of the plurality of memory regions store each of the image formation format data, and, when the operation unit receives an image formation instruction, makes the image forming unit perform an image formation, in a predetermined order, of the image formation format data stored in the plurality of memory regions.
1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an operation unit receiving an operation instruction;
an image forming unit performing an image formation;
a control unit making the image forming unit perform the image formation when the operation unit receives an image formation instruction;
a data acquisition unit obtaining an image formation object data;
a data conversion unit converting the image formation object data to a first image formation format data, and converting a portion of the image formation object data to a second image formation format data; and
one or more of a first memory region configured to store both the first image formation format data and the second image formation format data, wherein
when the data acquisition unit obtains the image formation object data, the control unit makes the data conversion unit make a conversion to the first image formation format data and the second image formation format data based on the image formation object data, the control unit makes the first memory region store both the second image formation format data and the first image formation format data; and
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when the first image formation format data is stored in the first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the first image formation format data; and
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when only the second image formation format data is stored in the first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the second image formation format data;
a second memory region storing a fixed image formation format data in advance, wherein
when the data acquisition unit obtains the image formation object data, the control unit makes the data conversion unit make a conversion to the second image formation format data and to the first image formation format data based on the image formation object data, the control unit makes the first memory region store both the second image formation format data and the first image formation format data; and
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when the first image formation format data is stored in the first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the first image formation format data;
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when only the second image formation format data is stored in the first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the second image formation format data; and
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when the first image formation format data and the second image formation format data are not stored in the first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the fixed image formation format data stored in the second memory region.
2. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an operation unit receiving an operation instruction;
an image forming unit performing an image formation;
a control unit making the image forming unit perform the image formation when the operation unit receives an image formation instruction;
a data acquisition unit obtaining an image formation object data;
a data conversion unit converting the image formation object data to a first image formation format data, and converting a portion of the image formation object data to a second image formation format data;
at least one first memory region storing the first image formation format data and the second image formation format data; and
a second memory region storing a fixed image formation format data in advance, wherein when the data acquisition unit obtains the image formation object data, the control unit makes the data conversion unit make a conversion to the first image formation format data and the second image formation format data based on the image formation object data, the control unit makes the at least one first memory region store the second image formation format data and the first image formation format data; and when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when the first image formation format data is stored in the at least one first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the first image formation format data;
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when only the second image formation format data is stored in the at least one first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the second image formation format data; and
when the operation unit receives the image formation instruction and when the first image formation format data and the second image formation format data are not stored in the at least one first memory region, the control unit makes the image forming unit perform the image formation based on the fixed image formation format data stored in the second memory region.
