Abstract

An image processing apparatus for outputting image data to a printing unit receives data input from an external unit, generates pixel image data in accordance with the input data, stores the pixel image data, converts the resolution of the pixel image data, and outputs the pixel image data whose resolution has been converted. In the apparatus the image data generating means determines the resolution of the pixel image data when it is stored in accordance with the memory capacity.
