The invention provides an image processing apparatus and a recording medium. The operation safety is guaranteed and the degradation of performance is avoided as much as possible. In a file storage region (1910), a file, which is printed by utilizing a page summarizing function two-in-one, is saved in a region (1911); a file, which stores images that are printed on two faces of paper, is saved in aregion (1912); and a file, which is printed by one color, is saved in a region (1913).
