Abstract
In an image processor in a print system, an output device processes input data and outputs the processed data, while a detector detects whether data of a specified pattern is included in the input data or in the processed data, in parallel to the data processing by the output device. A stop controller makes the output device stop to output the processed data at an irregular timing after the detector detects the specified pattern. The printer prints an image on a sheet of paper, based on the data outputted by the output device. Thus when the specified pattern in an image is detected, the printing is stopped but the stop position becomes irregular.
