Abstract
When an image formation instruction for created document data is received, image data for a preview image corresponding to the document data is generated, the preview image based on the image data is displayed on a display, and an image is formed using data for image formation based on the image data for the preview image.
Claims12
An image forming system including a data processing apparatus for creating document data for an image to be formed and displaying a preview image corresponding to the document data on a display section, and an image forming apparatus for forming an image based on data acquired, wherein
- the data processing apparatus comprises:
- an instruction receiving section for receiving an image formation instruction for the document data;
- a setting receiving section for receiving setting of post-image-formation processing conditions for the document data;
- an image data generating section for generating image data for the preview image, according to the post-image-formation processing conditions received by the setting receiving section, when the instruction receiving section receives the image formation instruction;
- a modifying section for modifying the image data for the preview image, according to the post-image-formation processing conditions received by the setting receiving section;
- an image display section for displaying the preview image on the display section, according to the image data generated by the image data generating section or the image data modified by the modifying section;
- and
- a formation data generating section for generating, based on the image data for the preview image, data for image formation which is to be sent to the image forming apparatus, and
- the image forming apparatus comprises:
- an acquiring section for acquiring the data for image formation from the data processing apparatus;
- and
- an image forming section for forming an image based on the acquired data for image formation.
A data processing apparatus for creating document data for an image to be formed and displaying a preview image corresponding to the document data on a display section, comprising:
- an instruction receiving section for receiving an image formation instruction for the document data;
- a setting receiving section for receiving setting of post-image-formation processing conditions for the document data;
- an image data generating section for generating image data for the preview image, according to the post-image-formation processing conditions received by the setting receiving section, when the instruction receiving section receives the image formation instruction;
- a modifying section for modifying the image data for the preview image, according to the post-image-formation processing conditions received by the setting receiving section;
- an image display section for displaying the preview image on the display section, according to the image data generated by the image data generating section or the image data modified by the modifying section;
- and
- a formation data generating section for generating, based on the image data for the preview image, data for image formation.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium readable by a computer and storing a computer program for causing a computer constituting a data processing apparatus, which includes a display section and creates document data for an image to be formed, to display a preview image corresponding to the document data, said computer program comprising:
- an instruction receiving step for causing the computer to receive an image formation instruction for the document data;
- a setting receiving step for causing the computer to receive setting of post-image-formation processing conditions for the document data;
- an image data generating step for causing the computer to generate image data for the preview image, according to the post-image-formation processing conditions received by the setting receiving section, when the instruction receiving section receives the image formation instruction;
- a modifying step for causing the computer to modify the image data for the preview image, according to the post-image-formation processing conditions received in the setting receiving step;
- an image display step for causing the computer to display the preview image on the display section, according to the image data generated in the image data generating step or the image data modified in the modifying step;
- and
- a formation data generating step for causing the computer to generate, based on the image data for the preview image, data for image formation.
