Abstract

In a printing apparatus, a controller is configured to: receive compressed image data created by compressing image data for pages; store the compressed image data into a memory; individually identify partial compressed data corresponding to the pages in the stored compressed image data; store one of the partial compressed data into the memory or stores information identifying each partial compressed data in the compressed image data, into the memory; execute a first creating processing for decompressing the one partial compressed data and creating print data for one page based on decompressed page data; and execute a first output processing for outputting the created print data. The controller repeats the first creating processing and the first output processing a number of times corresponding to the number of pages contained in the compressed image data. The printing apparatus performs printing based on the output print data.
