Abstract
An image processing apparatus stores, in a buffer, an image data of c bits in the main scanning direction and y lines in the sub scanning direction, and reads out a pixel data of p bits that configures the image data stored in the buffer, in accordance with the completion of the storage of the image data. Note that c is a common multiple of m, which is the number of bits in the unit of memory access, and p, which is the number of bits in a single pixel. Note further that the number of bits in the unit of memory access m is not itself a multiple of the number of bits in a single pixel p.
