Claim One:
1. An image output control system comprising an image processing device that makes image data subjected to a preset series of image processing, and an image output device that creates multiple different types of dots having different densities per unit area according to a result of the preset series of image processing, so as to output an image, said image processing device comprising: a dot number determination module that determines a number of dots to be created in each pixel group, which is set to have a predetermined number of multiple pixels included in the image, with respect to each of the multiple different types of dots according to the image data; and a number data output module that outputs the determined number of dots to be created in the pixel group with respect to each type of dot, as dot number data of the pixel group, to said image output device, said image output device comprising: a number data receiving module that receives the dot number data of the pixel group with respect to each type of dot; a priority order specification module that specifies a priority order of individual pixels in the pixel group for dot creation; a pixel position determination module that determines positions of dot-on pixels in the pixel group with respect to each type of dot, based on the dot number data of the pixel group with respect to each type of dot and the specified priority order; and a dot formation module that creates the multiple different types of dots at the determined positions of the dot-on pixels.
