Abstract
A system CPU receives print data through an external interface from a host computer or the like connected to a local area network (LAN). The CPU opens a job file in a hard disk drive and generates a job header and a page header in the job file and writes the print data in the job header and the page header. When the sheet size represented by a data item included in the print data changes, the CPU closes the job file and opens a new job file and generates a job header and a page header in the new job file and writes the renewed print data in the job header and page header of the new job file.
