Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of storing print job data in a memory of an image forming device such as a laser printer. SOLUTION: In one embodiment of a memory management method, the method includes a step for receiving data which can be divided into segments. Whether each segment is stored in a first memory such as a RAM or a second memory such as a hard disk is determined. Each segment is stored in a determined place. While each segment determined to be stored in the first memory is stored, it is discriminated whether the first memory is completely occupied or not. After it is discriminated that the first memory is completely occupied, segments to be stored in the first segment are stored in the second memory. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
