Abstract:
Provided is an image forming system that is capable of displaying an accurate preview image in pull output. A document-data-receiving unit of a server receives document data from a terminal. A data-type-determining unit determines whether received document data is direct-output data or pull-output data. A document-data-retransmitting unit, when document data is determined to be direct-output data, transmits the document data as is to an image forming apparatus. A model-information-acquiring unit, when document data is determined to be pull-output data, acquires model information from the image forming apparatus. A preview-creating unit performs rasterization of the document data according to the model information, and creates preview data. A preview-transmitting unit transmits preview data that is created by the preview-creating unit to the image forming apparatus.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming system comprising a terminal, a server, and an image forming apparatus; wherein\n the terminal comprises a document-data-transmitting unit that transmits document data to the server as direct-output data that is directly outputted by the image forming apparatus, or as pull-output data that is stored in the server and outputted according to an instruction from the image forming apparatus; the server comprises: a document-data-receiving unit that receives the document data from the terminal; a data-type-determining unit that determines whether document data that is received by the document-data-receiving unit is direct-output data or pull-output data; a document-data-retransmitting unit that, when the document data is determined to be direct-output data by the data-type-determining unit, transmits the document data as is to the image forming apparatus; a model-information-acquiring unit that, when the document data is determined to be pull-output data by the data-type-determining unit, acquires model information from the image forming apparatus; a preview-creating unit that performs rasterization of the document data according to the model information acquired by the model-information-acquiring unit, and creates preview data; and a preview-transmitting unit that transmits the preview data created by the preview-data-creating unit to the image forming apparatus; and the image forming apparatus comprises: an input unit that acquires an instruction for selecting and outputting the document data that is pull-output data stored in the server; a preview-data-acquiring unit that acquires the preview data of the document data that is selected by the input unit from the server; a display unit that displays the preview data that is acquired by the preview-data-acquiring unit; a document-data-acquiring unit that acquires the document data for which there is an output instruction by the input unit from the server, and also acquires the document data that is direct-output data from the server; and a rasterizing unit that performs rasterization of the document data that is acquired by the document-data-acquiring unit, and creates output data.
