Patent attributes
An image forming apparatus has a receiving section that receives data regarding an image transmitted through a communication network, a storage section that stores the received data which is received by the receiving section, a converting section that reads out the received data stored in the storage section and performs a converting process of converting the received data to image data, and an image forming section that forms an image on a recording medium based on the image data which is converted by the converting section, a determining section that determines whether or not an anomaly occurs in the converting process of the converting section, and a controlling section that controls the converting section to terminate the converting process determined by the determining section that an anomaly occurs, and to perform the converting process of subsequent data if the receiving section receives the subsequent data.
