Problems solved by technology

[0005] On the other hand, when the above-mentioned analysis is performed, the processing becomes slow and the performance of the image forming apparatus decreases
[0006] According to the above, even if the data size of one page is extremely small, the memory of the maximum size must be ensured, so the waste of the memory area will be generated
Especially when the size of the memory installed in the image forming apparatus is small, there may be no free memory area, which hinders parallel processing

Abstract

An image forming apparatus processing a plurality of jobs in parallel includes an auxiliary storage device that includes a box, a memory, a PDL-to-box unit, and a box-to-print unit. In response to a request to store a document file in the box, the PDL-to-box unit stores, as an ensured memory size, a size of the memory used in the image-input-to-box function, in the auxiliary storage device by associating the size of the memory with a document file in the box. In response to a request to image-output the document file within the box, the box-to-print unit reads out the ensured memory size, secures an area of the ensured memory size in the memory, and image-outputs the content of the document file.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and an image forming method having a function of processing a plurality of tasks in parallel, a function of storing a text file in a folder in an auxiliary storage device (image input to folder processing), and enabling the storage The text file in the folder performs the function of image output (folder to image output processing). Background technique [0002] In order to process multiple tasks in parallel, it is necessary to secure a minimum amount of memory for each task. [0003] On the one hand, even if the image input to folder processing described above is executed, the folder to image output processing is not necessarily executed immediately, so it is necessary to release the acquired memory. [0004] However, in the case of executing the folder-to-image output process, it is impossible to determine how much memory is required for image output by a printer or the like unless the cont...
