Claim 7:
8. The image forming apparatus according to claim 3,
wherein the filter data includes L (L≥2) pieces of non-target PJL data associated with K (K<L) pieces of target PJL data, and
wherein the controller is further configured to:
obtain L pieces of PJL data via the data interface, separately L times in a one piece-by-one piece basis;
each time a single piece of PJL data is obtained, determine which, of the L pieces of non-target PJL data associated with the K pieces of target PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory, matches the obtained single piece of PJL data, for each of the L pieces of non-target PJL data associated with the K pieces of target PJL data in the filter data, thereby searching for a corresponding one of the L pieces of non-target PJL data that matches each of the obtained L pieces of PJL data; and
when the corresponding one of the L pieces of non-target PJL data is found that matches each of the obtained L pieces of PJL data, convert the obtained L pieces of PJL data into the K pieces of target PJL data associated with the L pieces of non-target PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory.
