Leakage of information from a high-quality copy created by reading out data from a storage device is inhibited. A printing apparatus () and a multi-function peripheral () which is connected to a network () store images each corresponding to an identification information. These apparatuses extract an identification information from a document for which a unique identification information is formed, and search a storage device for an image containing an identification information which coincides with the unique identification information. The apparatuses acquire the found image, form copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern image information on the image, and print.

Image processing apparatus and control method therefor

A high-quality image processing apparatus capable of performing image transfer processing using a predetermined work buffer even if different decoding methods are used, without physically increasing the memory capacity. Image data in page description language is inputted into a host I/F unit from an external device such as a host computer. At step S, a print mode of the input data is examined and a coding method is selected. Next, at step S, a decoding method corresponding to the coding is checked, and at step S, a band height (width) is set in correspondence with the decoding method. If the decoding method is a non-realtime decoding method, the band height is reduced to half of that in case of realtime decoding method.
