ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus form images efficiently using toner. The method, which is performed in an image forming apparatus to form images using toner, includes: rendering image data; deciding an amount of data of an image to be formed on a sheet using rendered results; and deciding a sheet feeding time point of a next sheet using a decided amount of data of the image. Accordingly, in contrast to a conventional image forming method, in which sheet feeding intervals are always constant when sheets of the same size are used, sheet feeding intervals may vary. Also, the amount of data of an image to be formed on a page is decided, and a sheet feeding time point of the next sheet may be variably set based on the decided amount of data, so that the next sheet having a smaller image-data-amount may be fed earlier. Therefore, a number of formed pages per minute may be increased, and images may be formed at high speed.
