ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an image processing method and apparatus, which are characterized in that coded record information is received in units of pages, the record information is developed into bit image data in units of areas each having a height corresponding to an integer multiple of a height of a record head for recording the record information, and image information is recorded by the record head according to the developed bit image data. An area for recording the bit image data is designated as a specific area, and a moving range of the record head is controlled according to the designated specific area information. When the developed bit image data corresponds to a final area of a page, the height of data present in the area is obtained, and information of the obtained height is used as the specific area information. Whether or not the bit image data to be developed is included in the specific area information is checked. When it is determined that the bit image data is not included in the specific area information, control is made not to develop the bit image data. As described above, this invention can eliminate idle movement of the record head, and can shorten the record time. Since unnecessary bit image data is not developed, the processing time can also be shortened.
