Provided is an image processing apparatus for improving efficiency of a clipping process. The image processing unit is an image processing apparatus for a raster image processor (RIP) mounted in an image forming apparatus. An order acquiring unit acquires instructions for image processing. A determination unit, in a case where clipping is set according to the instructions acquired by the order acquiring unit, determines whether that clipping is to be in an inclusive mode or an exclusive mode, and in a case of the exclusive mode, calculates pixels that are to be protected in a frame for which image processing is to be performed, and sets a number of pixels necessary for a clipping process. A clip processing unit, in the inclusive mode, in a case where a shape unit for which clipping is to be performed is a rectangle, performs clipping by evaluating a clipping area that includes the shape unit and a frame for which image processing is to be performed, and setting a different frame; and in a case where the shape unit is a trapezoid or a scan line, performs clipping by evaluating a positional relationship between the frame and a line being processed, and setting a different line; and in the exclusive mode, performs clipping by setting a number of pixels calculated by the determination unit without setting a different line, and performing evaluation of the clipping area and each line.

Embodiments improve processing of data by determining if a read-modify-write operation on a frame is necessary or not. Some frames may be converted into a block of 8 bpp data. There may be no need to read the destination since the unnecessary pixels may be protected by the byte-enables. The burst write transfer may be performed for the entire frame when it is 8 bpp depth. An original transfer frame may be split into smaller portions of the frame. One or more of the smaller frame portions may be converted into byte alignment thus obviating the need for the read function to be performed on the smaller frame portions. Accordingly, significant bits of data are no longer processed under this operation which speeds up the overall processing of data. Portions of transfer frames that may not be converted to 8 bpp may be processed with read-modify-write operations.

A memory control method generates write control data by predetermined areas by attaching processing priority data and a transfer ID, generates read control data for respective predetermined areas by attaching processing priority data and a transfer ID, stores the write control data and the read control data in an arbitration queue, executes an arbitration that determines a priority order of processing taking the write control data and the read control data that are stored in the arbitration queue as targets, and changes the processing priority data every time a predetermined time elapses. The arbitration raises a priority order taking the write control data or the read control data that includes the processing priority data as a timeout request when the processing priority data has passed a preliminarily set threshold by the change.

Provided is an image processing apparatus that improves performance of reading data of a RIP process. A multi-channel DMA (Direct Memory Access) controller performs reading or writing of stored data related to a RIP (Raster Image Processor).

A protective cover includes: a synthetic resin disc part having formed therein a separation wall which is thinner than other parts of the disc part and separates a magnetic encoder and a magnetic sensor from each other; and a synthetic resin sensor holder part protruding inward from the disc part. A gate mark caused by the injection molding is present n an outer peripheral surface of the disc part or an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical part continuous with the disc part, in the radially outer side of the separation wall. Since the gate is at the radially outer side, of the separation wall, which is near the separation wall, no charging end weld is generated on the separation wall when a molten synthetic resin material is injected from the gate into the cavity of the injection mold die and solidified in an injection molding step.
