Print data generation device, print data generation method and computer-readable medium for controlling rasterization processing

Abstract

Disclosed is a print data generation device comprising: a storage unit including: a region in which there are temporarily stored data in an intermediate language format between data in a page description language format and print data, and the print data to be generated based on the data in the intermediate language format; and a rasterization region for use at a time when rasterization processing in which the print data is to be generated based on the data in the intermediate language format is executed; and a control unit that includes a plurality of arithmetic operation parts, sets arithmetic operation parts which execute the rasterization processing based on a status of use of the arithmetic operation parts and a status of a free region of the storage unit, and executes the rasterization processing for each of the set arithmetic operation parts.
