An image processing system includes a memory for storing image data of a plurality of pages, a first controller which executes a writing of a set of image data of a plurality of pages into the memory in a prescribed page order and repeatedly executes a reading of the set of image data from the memory and an image processing thereof, a detector for detecting insufficiency of empty capacity of the memory, and a second controller. In the event that insufficiency of empty capacity of the memory is detected by the detector during the writing of image data into the memory by the first controller, the second controller deletes image data of one or a plurality of pages stored later and executes a writing of image data of one or a plurality of pages subsequent to the deleted image data of one or a plurality of pages into the memory, a reading thereof from the memory, an image processing thereof and a deletion thereof from the memory every page in a state that image data of one or a plurality of pages stored earlier is held in the memory.
