Print control apparatus, image forming system, non-transitory computer readable medium

An image forming system comprising:

• a receiving unit that receives a print request;
• a print data generating unit that generates print data for outputting images on print sheets on the basis of the print request that has been received by the receiving unit;
• a printer that outputs, on the print sheets, the images based on the print data that has been generated by the print data generating unit;
• an obtaining unit that obtains information on the printing speed of the printer that is to print the images on the print sheets on the basis of the print data that has been generated by the print data generating unit;
• a deciding unit that decides, on the basis of the information on the printing speed that has been obtained by the obtaining unit, page intervals at which reduced-size images are to be generated;
• a reduced-size image generating unit that generates, on the basis of the print request that has been received by the receiving unit, at the page intervals that have been decided by the deciding unit, reduced-size images of the images to be output on the print sheets;
• and
• a display unit that displays the reduced-size images that have been generated by the reduced-size image generating unit.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• generating print data for outputting images on print sheets on the basis of a received print request;
• obtaining information on the printing speed of a printer that is to print the images on the print sheets on the basis of the generated print data;
• deciding, on the basis of the obtained information on the printing speed, page intervals at which reduced-size images are to be generated;
• generating, on the basis of the received print request, at the decided page intervals, reduced-size images of the images to be output on the print sheets;
• and
• displaying the generated reduced-size images.
