Abstract
Band rendering processing time in the case where the raster scanning direction of inputted output information and that of a print mechanism are different can be remarkably reduced, and rendering processing efficiency of each page is improved. To expect the further improvement of throughput, a display list to render objects into a band memory is formed on the basis of the inputted output information. A bit map image is rendered into the band memory in accordance with the display list. If it is determined that the raster scanning direction of the inputted output information and that of the print mechanism are different, a rotating process is executed to the bit map image rendered in a rendering step so as to be matched with the raster scanning direction of the print mechanism and the rotated data is transferred to the print mechanism.
