Abstract

An image processing apparatus for outputting image data in accordance with a designated output mode is constructed by an input unit to input the image data; a memory to store the image data inputted by the input unit; an output unit capable of outputting the image data stored in the memory in accordance with the output mode; a discrimination unit to discriminate a remaining capacity of the memory; and a change unit to change the output mode in the case where it is discriminated by the discrimination unit that the remaining capacity of the memory lacks. In the case where the designated output mode is a mode for discontinuously outputting the image data inputted continuously by the input unit by the output unit, the change unit changes the mode to continuously output the image data.
