Abstract: An apparatus for performing data processing for a print job, includes a controller to control data processing in accordance with a number-of-copies setting of a print job. The data processing includes first data processing in which predetermined image processing is performed on first image data included in the print job to generate second image data, and the generated second image data is printed without spooling; and second data processing in which predetermined image processing is performed on first image data included in the print job to generate second image data, the generated second image data is spooled, and the spooled second image data is repeatedly used for printing. When a change of the number-of-copies setting is accepted during job execution by the first data processing, the controller switches from the first data processing to the second data processing in response to the remaining number of copies.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a feeding unit to supply a sheet, an acquiring unit, a fixing unit, a printing unit, a determining unit, and a comparing unit. The acquiring unit acquires, as a number, a remaining amount of sheets existing in the feeding unit. The fixing unit fixes a number of sheets required for a printing process per a certain unit for an accepted print job. The printing unit performs the printing process for the print job. The determining unit determines whether a restriction is imposed on interruption of the printing process for the print job. If, in comparing the remaining amount of sheets with the required number of sheets, the comparing unit determines that the remaining amount of sheets is greater than or equal to the required number of sheets, the printing unit starts the printing process for the print job regardless of whether the restriction is imposed.

Abstract: A video count value is acquired per unit area predetermined in a direction in which a recording medium is conveyed, based on recording target image data. When an image has been formed on an area of the recording medium from which the video count value has been acquired, control is performed by using the acquired video count value so that a developing unit is replenished with an amount of toner corresponding to the video count value acquired from the area.

Abstract: Upon occurrence of an interruption factor before image data for one page of a target document has been stored in a storage device, a printing apparatus performs control to store specific data in a storage area of the storage device in which the remaining image data of the target document is to be stored.
