Image forming apparatus for avoiding a feeding direction restriction when printing
First Claim
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
a controller configured to;
receive image data,in a case where the image data has a first resolution, store the image data in the memory without halftone processing,in a case where the image data has a second resolution higher than the first resolution, store the image data in the memory after the halftone processing thereof, andperform rotation processing for the image data stored in the memory in accordance with a direction of a sheet; and
an image forming device configured to form an image on the sheet based on the image data for which the rotation processing is performed,wherein the controller is configured to, in a case where the halftone processing has been performed for the image data stored in the memory and a direction of the sheet does not correspond to a direction of the image data stored in the memory;
perform, if a type of the sheet is an envelope, a rotation processing of the image data, and cause the image forming device to perform image forming on the sheet based on the rotated image data, andcause, if the type of the sheet is not an envelope, a display device to display an alert screen without performing the rotation processing.

Abstract
An image forming apparatus analyzes image data corresponding to a received job, and when as a result of the analysis is that the image data has a resolution that exceeds a predetermined value, determines a size of a sheet to be printed, and when a result of the determination is that the size of the sheet is a predetermined size, if a size of the image data is less than or equal to a threshold, stores image data to which halftoning processing is not performed in a memory, and if the size of the image data exceeds the threshold, stores image data to which the halftoning processing is performed in the memory, and based on a direction of the sheet, performs image forming on the sheet after performing rotation processing for the stored image data.

13. A method of controlling an image forming apparatus comprising a memory and a controller, the method comprising:
-
receiving, in the controller, image data; in a case where the image data has a first resolution, storing, in the controller, the image data in the memory without halftone processing; in a case where the image data has a second resolution higher than the first resolution, storing, in the controller, the image data in the memory after the halftone processing thereof; in a case where the halftone processing has been performed for the image data stored in the memory and a direction of the sheet does not correspond to the direction of the image data stored in the memory; performing, if a type of the sheet is an envelope, a rotation processing of the image data, and causing the image forming device to perform an image forming on the sheet based on the rotated image data, and causing, if the type of the sheet is not an envelope, a display device to display an alert screen without performing the rotation processing.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute each step of a method of controlling an image forming apparatus comprising a memory and a controller, the method comprising:
-
receiving, in the controller, image data; in a case where the image data has a first resolution, storing, in the controller, the image data in the memory without halftone processing; in a case where the image data has a second resolution higher than the first resolution, storing, in the controller, the image data in the memory after the halftone processing thereof; in a case where the halftone processing has been performed for the image data stored in the memory and a direction of the sheet does not correspond to a direction of the image data stored in the memory; performing, if a type of the sheet is an envelope, a rotation processing of the image data, and causing the image forming device to perform an image forming on the sheet based on the rotated image data, and causing, if the type of the sheet is not an envelope, a display device to display an alert screen without performing the rotation processing.
