Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to cause a plurality of image processing controllers to operate in parallel without idling them. The present invention is an image processing apparatus that processes data made use of for printing an image by relatively moving a printing unit including a plurality of ink ejection ports arranged in a first direction and a printing medium in a second direction that intersects with the first direction, the image processing apparatus including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data corresponding to one page; a plurality of processing units; and a transmission unit configured to perform repetitive transmission processing that repeats transmission of image data acquired by the acquisition unit in order to each of the plurality of image processing units by taking band data as a unit.

Claim (Index 15):
A control method of an image processing apparatus that processes data made use of for printing an image by relatively moving a printing unit including a plurality of ink ejection ports arranged in a first direction and a printing medium in a second direction that intersects with the first direction and which comprises a plurality of processing units configured to perform image processing for generating print data that is used for the printing unit to eject ink based on image data by using a common parameter for data of each pixel arranged in the second direction in response to reception of the image data to be processed in accordance with each of a plurality of processing areas whose positions in the first direction within one page are different from one another; the control method comprising:\n a step of acquiring image data corresponding to one page; and a step of performing repetitive transmission processing that repeats transmission of image data acquired at the acquisition step in order to each of the plurality of image processing units by taking band data as a unit, which corresponds to a band area whose length in the first direction is shorter than a length in the first direction of the processing area, and which includes processing to transmit image data corresponding to a second band area adjacent to a first band area in each of the plurality of processing areas after transmission of image data corresponding to the first band area in each of the plurality of processing areas is completed.
