Abstract:
1. A printing system which is formed by a image processing apparatus to generate print data and a image forming apparatus to be connected with the image processing apparatus, to receive the print data and to execute a print, and prints a part of the print data before printing the print data of predetermined unit, comprising: wherein the image forming apparatus includes an image forming section which form an image on the basis of the print data received from the image processing apparatus; a print mode discriminating section which discriminates whether the received print data is image confirmation use data; a confirmation result inputting section which inputs a confirmation result of the image when the discriminated result of the print mode discriminating section is the image confirmation use data; and a request informing section which requests the image process to output the print data to correspond to the inputted confirmation result in the confirmation result inputting section; wherein the image processing apparatus includes a print data generating section to generate print data of predetermined unit; a print data storing section in which the generated print data is stored; and a selecting and outputting section to select a data range for the image confirmation and output the data of the data range; wherein after the image confirmation use data is outputted to the image forming apparatus, when an output of the print data corresponding to the image confirmation use data is requested from the image forming apparatus, the selecting and outputting section selects print data except the data range for image confirmation use from the print data of predetermined unit stored in the print data storing section, and outputs the selected print data.
