Image forming apparatus and electronic device for displaying sample image subjected to picture quality adjustment, and image forming system including image forming apparatus and electronic apparatus

An image forming system comprising:

• an image forming apparatus;
• and
• an electronic device,
• the image forming apparatus including:
• an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium;
• a first operation panel;
• a first display;
• and
• a first control unit including a processor, and configured to generate, when the processor executes a control program, one distinction image, visualized from setup information including a first combination and a second combination in which set values set by a user through the first operation panel, with respect to a plurality of types of parameters for picture quality adjustment to be performed by an image forming apparatus, is different from each other, and information for specifying one of the plurality of sample images, and cause the first display to display the one distinction image, and
• the electronic device including:
• a storage unit that stores a plurality of sample images;
• an imaging unit that acquires the one distinction image displayed on the first display;
• a second display;
• a second operation panel;
• and
• a second control unit including a processor, and configured to recognize, when the processor executes a control program, the setup information on a basis of the one distinction image acquired by the imaging unit, specify one of the plurality of sample images stored in the storage unit on a basis of the information included in the setup information, and cause the second display to display, in a same screen, a first image formed by subjecting the specified sample image to the picture quality adjustment based on the first combination included in the setup information, a second image formed by subjecting the specified sample image to the picture quality adjustment based on the second combination included in the setup information, and the specified sample image not subjected to the picture quality adjustment,
• wherein when receiving through the second operation panel an instruction for selecting the first image, the second control unit causes the second display to display a setup condition indicating the first combination, and when receiving through the second operation panel an instruction for selecting the second image, the second control unit causes the second display to display a setup condition indicating the second combination.
