To solve the problem in which: a large amount of storage capacity is required for performing generation of print data and generation of electronic data at the same time; and when generation of print data and generation of electronic data are sequentially performed in order to reduce storage capacity, data missing occurs and desired print result or desired electronic data cannot be obtained.
When an image processing apparatus receives data, it determines if the data is set to generate electronic data at the same time, and generates tag information and drawing information for electronic data and layout information for print data. The image processing apparatus generates electronic data from the drawing information and tag information, and generates print data from the drawing information and layout information and prints the generated print data. The image processing apparatus stores the electronic data in a RAM built therein.
