Recording medium size compensation for image forming systems

An image forming system, comprising:

• an information terminal device configured to edit image formation data with application software;
• an image forming device configured to form an image on a recording medium based on the image formation data edited by the information terminal device;
• a first detecting unit configured to detect size information of the recording medium;
• a second detecting unit configured to detect direction information of the recording medium that represents an in-plane direction in which the recording medium is oriented with respect to the image forming device;
• and
• an input unit configured to receive an input of a size name of the recording medium,
• wherein, upon execution of computer readable instructions, the information terminal device is configured to function as:
• a registration unit configured to register:
• (a) the size information detected by the first detecting unit, (b) the direction information detected by the second detecting unit, and (c) the size name inputted through the input unit as setting information;
• an adding unit configured to add the setting information registered by the registration unit as setting items in the application software, wherein the application software is different from a driver used to operate the image forming device;
• a selecting unit configured to receive an input for selecting desired setting information from the setting items;
• a displaying unit configured to display an edit screen including an editable area for allowing a user to edit the image formation data when executing the application software;
• and
• a reflecting unit configured to visually change a size of the editable area in the edit screen displayed by the displaying unit based on the selected desired setting information in the application software so as to conform to the size information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon, which cause a computer, configured to edit image formation data with application software and to be connectable with an external image forming device that forms an image on a recording medium based on the edited image formation data, to perform steps of:

• detecting size information of the recording medium;
• registering the size information detected in the detecting step as setting information;
• adding the setting information as selectable setting items in the application software, wherein the application software is different from a driver used to operate the external image forming device;
• receiving input for selecting desired setting information from the selectable setting items;
• displaying an edit screen including an editable area for allowing a user to edit the image formation data when executing the application software;
• and
• visually changing a size of the editable area in the displayed edit screen based on the selected setting information in the application software so as to conform to the size information.
