Abstract
A color printerallocates all of the image processing memory resources for image processing on image data GD lined up in the main scanning direction of a print head IH, secures an amount of memory resources for each of the lined up image data GD, and releases the memory resources as the image processing completes. A CPUsecures image processing memory resources for an image datumin the storage area of a RAM, and releases the secured memory resources when the image processing on the image datumis complete. The CPUrepeatedly implements this processing on each image datum contained in one print job.
