Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus that further improves performance of a printing process. A RAM (storage device) stores printing data. An image-processing unit performs image processing on the printing data. A printer unit forms an image on paper based on processed data that is processed by the image processing. A system-control unit, after printing data is selected via the panel unit, instructs the image-processing unit to perform image processing on the selected printing data, and after there is an instruction via the panel unit to start printing, instructs the printer unit to form the image. As a result, at the instant when printing data is selected via the panel unit, the image-processing unit  118  executes image processing on the printing data, and at the instant when there is an instruction via the panel unit to start printing, the printer unit executes image formation.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the system-control unit, in a case where a printing setting is changed after the printing data is selected via the panel unit, instructs the image-processing unit to delete the processed data for the preceding selected printing data, and instructs the image-processing unit to perform image processing on the printing data based on the changed printing setting.
