Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a hardware processor that stores intermediate data of a plurality of print jobs in a storage. The hardware processor is configured to perform, read first intermediate data of a first prim job; rasterize the read first intermediate data to generate print data; output the print data to an image forming apparatus; determine whether reading the first intermediate data allows extra, time in relation to a throughput of a print engine; determine whether reading second intermediate data of a second print job is a bottleneck of a printing time; and execute in parallel reading the first intermediate data and reading the second intermediate data, in response to a determination that the operation of reading the first intermediate data allows extra time in relation to the throughput of the print engine and a determination that reading the second intermediate data is a bottleneck of the printing time.
