Abstract: Image data files are stored in correspondence with specified print size and quantity in an image data memory of an image processing device, and properly corrected by an image corrector. Two pieces of information about the print size, one inputted by an operator and the other detected by a paper detector, are stored in a print size memory. Only the image data file in correspondence with the print size which is the same as the set size is supplied to a printer by an image data supply controller. Other files are temporarily stored in a HD. After the operator changes the setting of the print size in response to a signal outputted from a demanding signal output controller, an image data retriever extracts only the image data file in correspondence with the newly-set print size from the files stored in the HD, and then stores the extracted file into the image data memory.
