Abstract: An image forming apparatus downloads a content via a network and prints an image of the content. when a shift instruction to shift to a first display process is input from a user operation unit after a registration process is completed, a control unit repeats the first display process, a second display process and the registration process so that another content information is newly created and stored in a first storage unit, and when a print instruction to start printing is input from the user operation unit after the registration process is completed, the control unit downloads contents indicated with the content information stored in the first storage unit wherein these contents are defined as print target contents, and sequentially executes print operations for the images of one or more of the print target contents with the print conditions associated with the print target contents.

Abstract: A storing unit stores document information received from an OS through an AP processing unit. A character size information extracting unit extracts representation character size information that represents a maximum size of characters whose accumulated number reaches a predetermined ratio of a total number of characters included in the document information. A resolution information extracting unit extracts resolution information. A page number deciding unit decides an arranged page number serving as the number of logical pages from the representation character size information and the resolution information. A page arranging unit converts the document information stored in the storing unit into the logical pages and arranges them to a physical page based on the logical pages and the arranged page number. The inputted document information divided into a plurality of logical pages is converted into image information consisting of physical pages of the number smaller than the number of logical pages.

Abstract: An image data generation unit generates image data based on input printing information, an image data storage unit for storing the image data, a received data analysis unit for making a judgment that reception of a packet of printing information is received, a printing control unit for giving notification of printing preparation completion and ordering printing initiation via a transmission unit upon completion of the generation of the image data based on packet of printing information judged to be received, and an image formation unit performs, based on the order of the printing control unit, a printing process based on the packet of printing information.

Abstract: A storing unit stores document information received from an OS through an AP processing unit. A character size information extracting unit extracts character size information. A resolution information extracting unit extracts resolution information. A page number deciding unit decides an arranged page number serving as the number of logical pages from the character size information and the resolution information. An page arranging unit converts the document information stored in the storing unit into the logical pages and arranges them to a physical page on the basis of the logical pages and the arranged page number. The inputted document information divided into a plurality of logical pages is converted into image information consisting of physical pages of the number smaller than the number of logical pages.
