Claim 2:
3. A recording medium recording a control program of an image forming apparatus that outputs bitmap data converted from page description language data, and forms an image on a recording medium, the control program comprising:
causing a processor of the image forming apparatus to:
execute a page description language process for analyzing the page description language data for each page of a print job, and generating the bitmap data;
restart the execution independently to cause the execution to perform analysis from a page of the print job in which an unrecoverable error occurs, and to generate the bitmap data, in a case where the unrecoverable error occurs in analyzing the page description language data; and
cause the execution to perform the analysis from a next page of the page of the print job in which the unrecoverable error occurs, and to generate the bitmap data, in a case where a restart during the execution restart repeats a predetermined number of times.
