Abstract: In a printing device a computer creates raster data based on an image file. When creating the raster data, the computer selects a target object in the image file and performs selected one of first, second, and third processes. The first process is to store a set of extraction data. The second process is performed when the target object includes content data. The second process is to create a set of intermediate data based on the target object. The third process is performed when the target object includes data on a reference to another object. The third process is to store a set of extraction data from the another object. The raster data is created by performing a drawing process on one or more sets of created intermediate data. The computer increases an amount of available space of the memory by deleting one or more sets of extraction data.
