Abstract: A printing device includes a storage unit configured to store image data transferred from a high level device; a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of a printing medium and output a notification of a printable state when the printing medium is conveyed to reach a predetermined printable state; a printing unit configured to print the image data stored in the storage unit on the printing medium in response to the notification of the printable state output from the conveyance control unit; and a printing control unit configured to create print setting information including conveyance control information to control conveyance of the printing medium from printing information specified from the high level device and transmit the print setting information at least to the conveyance control unit. The conveyance control unit controls conveyance of the printing medium in accordance with the conveyance control information included in the print setting information.

Abstract: A printing device includes a plurality of data transfer control units which store image data transferred from an upper level device in a storage unit; a plurality of output control units which are provided correspondingly to the data transfer control units and each of which controls printing of the image data stored by a specified one of the data transfer control units; and a print control unit that, when abnormality has occurred in any of the data transfer control units, transmits a transfer instruction on the image data that is to be transferred originally by the data transfer control unit being at fault, to an alternate data transfer control unit among the data transfer control units in which no abnormality has occurred, and instructs an output control unit corresponding to the data transfer control unit being at fault to print image data stored by the alternate data transfer control unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of controlling data to be processed by an image forming system encode image data to be printed to generate code data, and code information regarding encoding processing or the code data. The code information is used to obtain a predicted decode time, and a print speed level at which decoded data is to be printed. A plurality of print jobs to be processed are re-arranged by the print speed level to generate a print job sequence.
