Abstract

A page description language processing device is provided for supporting a plurality of types of page description languages. In one example, the device may be configured to read a command from data input and determine whether the command should be converted into a common intermediate code. If the judgment unit judges that the command should be converted into the common command, the controller may store a common intermediate command in the intermediate code storage unit. If the judgment unit judges that the command should not be converted into the common command, the controller may store a special intermediate command in the intermediate code storage unit. Additionally or alternatively, the device may execute a common module for the common intermediate command and a special module for the special intermediate command.
