An image output system having a preview function for displaying a preview image corresponding to an output image before the output image is outputted, the image output system having: an output data generating apparatus having: an output data generating device for generating output data; an output data sending device for sending the generated output data to a converting apparatus; a preview data receiving device for receiving preview data from the converting apparatus; and a display device for displaying a preview image made from the received preview data, the converting apparatus having: an output data receiving device for receiving the output data from the output data generating apparatus; a converting device for converting the received output data into data suitable for an output apparatus by using converting data which includes predetermined data necessary to a process for converting; a preview data generating device for generating the preview data by using the received output data and the converting data; and a preview data sending device for sending the generated preview data to the output data generating apparatus, and the output apparatus for outputting the output image made from the output data converted by the converting apparatus.
An image output system having a preview function for displaying a preview image corresponding to an output image before the output image is outputted, the image output system comprising:
A method of displaying a preview image corresponding to an output image in an image output system comprising at least one output data generating apparatus that generates output data and displays the preview image on a display device, a converting apparatus that converts the output data into data suitable for an output apparatus by using converting data, which includes predetermined data necessary to a process for converting, and an output apparatus that outputs the output image, the output image being made from the converted output data, said method comprising the processes of:
A program storage device readable by a first computer included in at least one output data generating apparatus and a second computer included in a converting apparatus in an image output system comprising the output data generating apparatus that generates output data and displays a preview image on a display device, the converting apparatus converting the output data into data suitable for an output apparatus by using converting data, which includes predetermined data necessary to a process for converting, and the output apparatus outputting an output image made from the converted output data, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the first computer and the second computer to perform method processes for displaying the preview image corresponding to the output image in the image output system, the method processes comprising:
