Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus generating output data based on print data comprising: an input unit adapted to input the print data to be printed on a plurality of pages; a first process unit adapted to analyze the input print data corresponding to each page to generate output data to be output to an image forming unit; and a second process unit adapted to obtain data linked from the input print data through a network, wherein, when said second process unit cannot obtain data linked from the input print data corresponding to one page of the plurality of pages within a predetermined time period, said first process unit suspends a process on the one page, saves output data corresponding to the one page in a storage device and analyzing the input print data corresponding to another page of the plurality of pages, and then, when said second process unit obtains the data, said first process unit inserts the data obtained by said second process unit in output data generated based on the input print data corresponding to the one page.
