    摘要: An image forming apparatus has a print engine, a job issuing device, two print control devices that control the print engine, and a job assignment device that assigns the print job to one of the two print control devices that is appropriate for the print job. Each print control device notifies the print engine of print information corresponding to the print job and manages already-indicated latest information, which is the latest print information. The print information is different from the already-indicated latest information. When making a switchover between the two print control devices to select a switched-to print control device, which is a print control device to which to assign the print job, the job assignment device causes the switched-to print control device to delete the already-indicated latest information managed by the switched-to print control device.

    摘要: A monochrome image forming apparatus includes an image data supply unit for the color image forming apparatus that has a function to write input color image data including plural primary color data components into color buffers; and a color converter for a color image forming apparatus in which a color conversion unit reads the input color image data from the color buffers, performs an UCR process and a black generation process. The image data supply unit writes input monochrome image data of a single color to a monochrome buffer. In an eco printing mode, the color converter reads out the input monochrome image data to the color conversion unit as the plural primary color data components of the color image data, and performs the UCR process and the black generation process so as to make a toner consumption amount smaller than that in a normal printing mode.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes a print engine configured to perform printing on a recording medium, a job issuing unit configured to issue a print job, two print control units configured to control the print engine in accordance with the issued print job, and a job allocating unit configured to allocate the print job to an appropriate print control unit, among the two print control units. If a last print job that is issued is for a first print control unit, the control of the print engine by the first print control unit in accordance with the last print job allocated to the first print control unit is not completed, and a next print job that is issued is for a second print control unit, the job allocating unit is configured to place on standby the allocation of the next print job to the second print control unit.
