Information processing apparatus and information processing system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing an information processing program that when executed causes an information processing apparatus, which is connectable to an image output apparatus via a network, to perform the steps of:

• acquiring an initial image to be output by the image output apparatus;
• determining, based on an output condition to be implemented by the image output apparatus upon outputting the initial image and image data of the initial image, whether to change the initial image to a substitute image having a higher image quality than the initial image;
• searching for the substitute image in a case where a determination is made to change the initial image to the substitute image;
• generating output data including image data of the substitute image found by the search;
• and
• transmitting the output data to the image output apparatus.

An information processing system comprising:

• an image output apparatus;
• and
• an information processing apparatus that is connectable to the image output apparatus via a network;
• wherein the information processing apparatus includes
• a first memory storing a first program;
• and
• a first processor configured to execute the first program to implement processes of
• acquiring an initial image to be output by the image output apparatus;
• determining, based on an output condition to be implemented by the image output apparatus upon outputting the initial image and image data of the initial image, whether to change the initial image to a substitute image having a higher image quality than the initial image;
• searching for the substitute image in a case where a determination is made to change the initial image to the substitute image;
• generating output data including image data of the substitute image found by the search;
• and
• transmitting the output data to the image output apparatus;
• and
• wherein the image output apparatus includes
• a second memory storing a second program;
• and
• a second processor configured to execute the second program to implement processes of
• receiving the output data from the information processing apparatus;
• and
• performing a process of outputting the substitute image based on the output data.
