Abstract:
The image forming apparatus executes a process of generating image data of an alternative image involving a smaller consumption quantity of color material than an image contained in a replacement-object area and then generating replaced image data in which the image data of the replacement-object area has been replaced with the image data of the alternative image, and the control section instructs a printing section to execute color material-saving printing of printing an image based on the replaced image data on a sheet. The alternative image is an image containing information for allowing an image based on the image data of the replacement-object area to be displayed by an information terminal that has read the alternative image.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising\n an acceptance part for accepting, from a user, a setting as to whether or not to execute a trial printing, wherein in a case where the replacement-object area is present in the printing-use image data, the control section: given a setting for executing the trial printing, instructs the printing section to execute the color material-saving printing; or given no setting for executing the trial printing, blocks the printing section from executing the color material-saving printing even with the replacement-object area present in the printing-use image data.
