ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an image recording method and apparatus which can attain a reduction in power in using an elongated recording head for a high-speed print operation. An image recording method according to an embodiment of the invention has the following steps. The effective dots in a plurality of print buffers are counted. The effective pixel ratio of an image to be recorded from each of the print buffers is obtained from each count value. A print mode is determined on the basis of each effective pixel ratio. The print modes include a mode of simultaneously recording the contents of a plurality of print buffers, and a mode of independently printing the contents of the respective print buffers.
