ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for creating a drawing program used by a printer to print a document calculates the load on the printer for printing portions of the document, and embeds the calculated loads in the drawing program. Document data is converted into page description language commands that are used by a printer to print the document. Load parameters indicating the time and/or the memory capacity required by the printer to process each command of the page description language are stored in a memory unit. The load of the printer for each of the converted commands is calculated for each process unit of the document, which corresponds to a command string, based on the load parameters. A drawing program to be processed by the printer is then created from commands and the calculated loads.
