Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a control section including a plurality of operation units; and a nonvolatile storage section to store a program to execute analysis processing and rendering processing by a control of the control section, the analysis processing analyzing page description language format data to generate intermediate language, and the rendering processing generating rendering data based on the intermediate language format data generated by the analysis processing, wherein a first operation unit and a second operation unit are capable of executing the analysis processing and the rendering processing; the control section controls the first operation unit to execute the analysis processing, and controls the second operation unit to execute the rendering processing, wherein when an event occurs which suspends the analysis processing being executed by the first operation unit, the first operation unit switches to the rendering processing being executed by the second operation unit and executes the rendering processing in parallel with the second operation unit; and when an event occurs which suspends the rendering processing being executed by the second operation unit, the second operation unit switches to the analysis processing being executed by the first operation unit and executes the analysis processing in parallel with the first operation unit.
