Abstract:
In an image forming system, an image processing apparatus includes a unit configured to start image generation that is based on received print data, and a unit configured to interrupt, according to receiving a notification concerning a printing instruction during execution of the image generation, the image generation and to transmit, to an image forming apparatus, generated image data and interrupted data including command information about a page whose image data is ungenerated. The image forming apparatus includes a unit configured to accept a printing instruction and to notify the image processing apparatus of the accepted printing instruction, and a unit configured to cause an image acquisition unit to acquire image data about all printing target pages using the interrupted data received from the image processing apparatus and to cause an image forming unit to perform image formation that is based on the image data about all printing target pages.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming system including an image forming apparatus which includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire image data about all printing target pages of a plurality of pages included in print data and an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet, which, after receiving print data having user information appended thereto, accepts an instruction of an authenticated user corresponding to the user information, and causes the image forming unit to perform image formation that is based on image data about a printing target page, and an image processing apparatus which processes print data, the image forming apparatus and the image processing apparatus being connected to each other in such a way as to communicate with each other,\n the image processing apparatus comprising: a first controller configured of at least one processor or at least one circuit having a function, the first controller configured to function as: a unit configured to start, according to receiving print data from an external apparatus, image generation that is based on the received print data; and a unit configured to interrupt, according to receiving a notification concerning a printing instruction for the print data during execution of the image generation from the image forming apparatus, the image generation and to transmit, to the image forming apparatus, image data generated and acquired by the image processing apparatus and interrupted data including command information about a page whose image data is ungenerated, and the image forming apparatus comprising: a second controller configured of at least one processor or at least one circuit having a function, the second controller configured to function as: a unit configured to accept a printing instruction for print data from an authenticated user and to notify the image processing apparatus of the accepted printing instruction; and a unit configured to cause the image acquisition unit to acquire image data about all printing target pages using the interrupted data received from the image processing apparatus and to cause the image forming unit to perform image formation that is based on the image data about all printing target pages.
