Abstract
An image processing device determines whether or not a data size per page of a received print job is greater than a preset threshold. When it is determined that the data size is greater than the threshold, the image processing device estimates a first RIP time per page, which is the time required to RIP process when a resolution of an image of the print job is not optimized, an optimization time per page, which is the time required to optimize, and a second RIP time per page when the resolution of the image of the print job is optimized. Then, the image processing device optimizes the resolution of the image of the print job on the basis of the first RIP time, the optimization time, and the second RIP time so that the rates of decreasing the resolution in each image after conversion are substantially the same.
