Image forming apparatus, information processing apparatus, information processing system, method of controlling image forming apparatus, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an image forming apparatus equipped with a reading unit configured to read an original,

• wherein the method comprises:
• determining whether or not position information indicative of a position where a clear-toner image formed by a clear toner is formed is contained in an image of the original read by the reading unit;
• and
• forming the image of the original and the clear-toner image based on the position information when it is determined by said determining that the position information indicative of the position where the clear-toner image is formed is contained in the image of the original.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an information processing apparatus that transmits image data to an image forming apparatus,

• wherein the method comprises:
• generating position information indicative of a position where a clear-toner image formed by a clear toner is formed;
• and
• transmitting the position information to the image forming apparatus so as to cause the image forming apparatus to form the clear-toner image based on the position information generated by said generating.

An information processing system including an image forming apparatus, and an information processing apparatus that transmits image data to the image forming apparatus,

• the information processing apparatus comprising:
• a generation unit configured to generate position information indicative of a position where a clear-toner image formed by a clear toner is formed;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the position information to the image forming apparatus;
• the image forming apparatus comprising:
• a reception unit configured to receive the position information from the information processing apparatus;
• and
• an image forming unit configured to form, on a sheet, an image based on the position information received by said reception unit.
