ABSTRACT:
An image processing system for receiving a coded record information in units of pages for use with a recording head includes a method and apparatus for (1) analyzing the received coded record information to derive a minimum band number and a maximum band number of a band in which an object image represented by the coded record information exists, the band having a height which is an integer multiple of a height of the record head, (2) storing the derived minimum band number and the maximum band number for each object image, (3) comparing the stored minimum band number and the maximum band number with a current band number to obtain a comparison result, and (4) determining, in response to the obtained comparison result, whether the object image is to be developed into dot data in the band.
