Abstract
A process of reducing a toner consumption amount is to be performed on a region within several tens of pixels from a rendering end. An excessive amount of toner is supplied from a toner supplying unit which faces a non-printing region of a photosensitive drum within several tens of pixels at most from an end portion of a printing region. Accordingly, if only contour pixels in the rendering end are processed by an existing processing system, the contour correction and the process of reducing a toner consumption amount may be simultaneously realized. A contour is calculated as a processing result of the existing processing system, and an existing process is performed on a contour portion. The process of reducing a toner consumption amount is performed on other portions.
