Abstract:
A print-mode determination processor determines the print mode of a print job that is described in a page description language (PDL) and that has a print mode set to an automatic determination mode, using image data generated for a preflight check by a preflight checker that performs a preflight check of image data of a print job. The image data for a preflight check has a resolution lower than that of thumbnail image data and sufficient to determine whether to set a color print mode or a black-and-white print mode, such as presence or absence of a color part in the image data of the print job or the degree of the color part, so that the time required for generating and analyzing image data for print mode determination can be shortened.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a priority-mode setting unit, to which either a determination-speed prioritizing mode of increasing a speed of determination of the print mode by the print mode determiner to be higher than a default speed, or a determination-accuracy prioritizing mode of increasing an accuracy of determination of the print mode by the print mode determiner to be higher than a default accuracy is set as needed; and an analysis amount changer that changes at least one of a resolution of the image data for a preflight check generated by the preflight image generator, and a ratio of pixels on which pixel information is analyzed by the print mode determiner among pixels of the image data for a preflight check, to cause an analysis amount of pixel information by the print mode determiner to be smaller than a default analysis amount defined based on setting contents of print setting information of the print job when the determination-speed prioritizing mode is set in the priority-mode setting unit, and to cause the analysis amount to be larger than the default analysis amount when the determination-accuracy prioritizing mode is set in the priority-mode setting unit.
