Claim:
1. An image output system comprising: a processor; and memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform: inputting an instruction for an image output process; decomposing data according to the instruction; duplicating image data obtained by the decomposition and storing the duplicated image data; in response to the duplicated image data being stored in the memory, starting the image output process of the image data according to the instruction; and generating log image data which includes (1) a log image generated based on the duplicated image data and (2) log data indicating a log of the image output process, wherein the image data comprises image data of a plurality of images, wherein the storing the duplicated image data comprises storing duplicated image data of each of the plurality of images in the memory, wherein, after the duplicated image data of at least one of the plurality of images has been stored, the starting the image output process comprises starting the image output process corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of images before the duplicated image data of all the images is stored, and wherein the memory stores further executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform: storing the generated log image data in the memory, wherein during the duplicating of the image data of each image, in response to a determination that space available in the memory becomes less than or equal to a threshold, limiting the duplicating of the image data.
