A color image scanning and printing device includes a scanning unit which
scans an image of a plural number of pages, a conversion unit performing
a conversion process by converting a scanned result scanned by the
scanning unit into image data of each of a plurality of color components
for printing one page as a unit, a printing unit which prints an image
based on the converted image data of each of the color components, and a
control unit which executes the conversion process by the conversion unit
for a part of the color components of the scanned result of the image of
the plural number of pages, prior to the conversion process by the
conversion unit for remaining color components.
