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 4):
An image forming method that is executed by an image forming system that includes a terminal, a server and an image forming apparatus comprising the steps of:\n in the terminal, transmitting 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 then outputted according to an instruction from the image forming apparatus; in the server, receiving the document data from the terminal; determining whether the received document data is direct-output data or pull-output data; transmitting, when the document data is determined to be direct-output data, the document data as is to the image forming apparatus; acquiring, when the document data is determined to be pull-output data, model information from the image forming apparatus; performing rasterization of the document data according to the acquired model information, and creates preview data; and transmitting the created preview data to the image forming apparatus; and in the image forming apparatus, acquiring an instruction for selecting and outputting the document data that is pull-output data stored in the server; acquiring the preview data of the selected document data from the server; displaying the acquired preview data; acquiring the document data for which there is an output instruction from the server, and also acquiring the document data that is direct-output data from the server; and performing rasterization of the acquired document data, and creates output data.
