ABSTRACT:
An image forming system includes a plurality of sequentially connected image forming apparatuses, each of which stores image data in a storage unit, and forms an image by reading out the stored image data. The image forming system also includes at least an apparatus for storing input image data into a memory after compressing the information amount of the data, and forming an image by reading out the compressed image data from the memory. A predetermined one of the image forming apparatuses includes an input unit for inputting color-separated image data of each different color, a storage unit for storing the color-separated image data without compressing the information amount of the data, and an output unit which is capable of outputting the color-separated image data of each different color in a frame-sequential manner from the storage unit, and which is capable of outputting the color-separated image data of each different color in parallel. This arrangement results in the memory capacity of the entire system being decreased while maintaining a high copy volume.
