Claim 13:
14. A system comprising:
a pretreatment device being configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium;
a printer configured to print an image on the recording medium; and
a pretreatment information generation device, wherein the pretreatment information generation device comprises:
a receiver configured to receive image data to be printed on the recording medium by the printer, the image data representing the image;
a processor; and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform processes including:
receiving the image data; and
identifying pretreatment information to perform the pretreatment with respect to the received image data, the pretreatment information including a pretreatment range over which to perform the pretreatment by the pretreatment device of the pretreatment device, the pretreatment range including at least one unit range determined by a configuration of the pretreatment device, size of the unit range is larger than a minimum image forming range to be printed by the printer, a shape of the unit range not changing depending on a shape of the image represented by the image data, an entire range of the unit range being applied with a pretreatment agent by the pretreatment device when the image is to be printed by the printer on at least a part of the unit range, and any other unit range without at least a part of the image to be printed is not applied with the pretreatment agent by the pretreatment device.
