Claim 2:
3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein PJL data obtainable by the controller includes:
non-omitted-type PJL data with no elements omitted; and
omitted-type PJL data with at least one element omitted,

wherein the filter data includes a plurality of pieces of non-target PJL data associated with a plurality of pieces of target PJL data, the plurality of pieces of target PJL data including:
first target PJL data associated with the non-omitted-type PJL data; and
second target PJL data associated with the omitted-type PJL data, and

wherein the controller is further configured to:
determine whether the PJL data matches at least a part of one piece of non-target PJL data among the plurality of pieces of non-target PJL data associated with the plurality of pieces of target PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory, for each of the plurality of pieces of non-target PJL data;
when the PJL data is the non-target PJL data associated with the target PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory and is the non-omitted-type PJL data, convert the PJL data into the first target PJL data associated with the non-omitted-type PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory; and
when the PJL data is the non-target PJL data associated with the target PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory and is the omitted-type PJL data, convert the PJL data into the second target PJL data associated with the omitted-type PJL data in the filter data stored in the non-volatile memory.
