Abstract
A printing apparatus includes one or more print processing sections that execute a printing process of printing an image represented by input printing image data onto a recording medium, and plural data processing sections that execute a generating process of generating the printing image data for inputting to the print processing section based on input data for a print subject. Further, the printing apparatus includes a control unit that inputs in a distributed manner the data for a print subject corresponding to a single printing job to plural data processing sections with the plural data processing sections executing in parallel the generating process for assigned parts of the data for a print subject.
