Abstract:
1. An image information control apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive bit map image data sent from an information process unit; an accumulating unit configured to accumulate the image data received from said information process unit line by line; a blocked unit configured to group a plurality of lines of said image data into at least two predetermined size blocks of image data, each of said at least two predetermined size blocks including a different amount of lines; a converting unit configured to convert the at least two predetermined size blocks, separately into a language command corresponding to said image forming apparatus and including the block of image data; a sending unit configured to send the language command to said image forming apparatus; a compression unit configured to compress said language command prior to said sending unit sending the language command, wherein said compression unit includes a plurality of different compression technologies, said image information control apparatus further comprising a selecting unit configured to select one of said plurality of different compression technologies for the compression unit to compress said language command; and an optimizing unit configured to optimize a condition of image forming by determining whether non-compression should be used or compression should be used to compress said language command, and if compression should be used, what compression technology should be used.
