  • Patent number: 8976419
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus and a control method thereof according to this invention, in a case that a received print job designates image formation on a surface of a sheet on which an image has been formed, whether image formation on the sheet based on the print job is possible is determined based on at least image information of the sheet acquired by reading the image of the sheet. If it is determined that image formation on the sheet based on the print job is impossible, the image formation on the sheet is stopped. If it is determined that the image formation on the sheet based on the print job is possible, an image is formed on the sheet in accordance with the image information of the print job.

  • Patent number: 8780127
    Abstract: A printer interprets the input print data and determines whether or not a rendering command targeted for reusable data included in print data depends on a placement location for placement of the rendering result in a physical coordinate space based on the interpretation result of the PDL data. When the rendering command depends on a placement location for placement of the rendering result in a physical coordinate space, the printer generates cache data without graphic processing for the rendering command targeted for reusable data and stores the generated cache data in a storage unit. When the rendering command does not depend on a placement location for placement of the rendering result in a physical coordinate space, the printer performs graphic processing for the rendering command targeted for the reusable data, generates cache data based on the result of the graphic processing, and stores the generated cache data in a storage unit.
