Abstract:
1. An image output system comprising: input device for receiving image data; instruction acceptance section for accepting an instruction corresponding to outputting the received image data; image output section for outputting the received image data in accordance with the accepted instruction; and log-recording section for generating and recording an image log; said log-recording section generating termination state information based upon a termination state of the outputting of the received image data by said image output section, the termination state information indicating a normal termination when the received image data is outputted successfully by said image output section, the termination state information indicating an error-caused termination when the received image data is outputted unsuccessfully due to an unsuccessful operation of said image output section, the termination state information indicating a cancelled termination when a user cancels the outputting of the received image data by said image output section; said log-recording section generating the image log such that the image log includes the image that has been input and the termination state information for the image that has been input; said log-recording section generating the image log such that when the output of the instructed image has been completed unsuccessfully, the image included in the image log being only part of the image data that has been outputted by said image output section before the error-caused termination; said log-recording section generating the image log such that when the output of the instructed image has been cancelled, the image included in the image log being only part of the image data that has been outputted by said image output section before the cancelled termination.
