Abstract
A plurality of image processors each include an image generation unit which generates image data for respective drawing units based on input record data. An image memory stores the image data generated by the image generation unit, and a data transfer unit transfers the record data from the image memory to a recording mechanism in synchronism with an operation of the recording mechanism. Image data of different areas of an image are alternately generated by the plurality of image processors, and are recorded on a recording medium.
