Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including: a reading unit; a print unit; a transmitting unit; an execution instruction receiving unit; and a control unit, wherein in case that before a predetermined time elapses since the execution instruction receiving unit receives a first execution instruction for executing a first job including reading of the original set to the reading unit, the execution instruction receiving unit receives a second execution instruction for executing a second job including the reading of the original, and in case that the first execution instruction and/or the second execution instruction is a remote instruction, the control unit controls the transmitting unit so as not to transmit the image of the original even though a transmitting instruction for transmitting the image of the original is included in the first execution instruction and/or the second execution instruction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a print support apparatus that makes it possible even for a client, who has no document creation/editing application program and no printer driver, to implement a printing operation easily and safely by employing the SaaS. The print support apparatus, which is to be installed in a user's inhouse network being connectable to the Internet, includes: a detecting section to detect a printer coupled to the user's inhouse network; a notifying section to notify a print service server of information for specifying the printer above-detected; an acquiring section that accesses a predetermined storing destination site, in which print data created from document data by the print service server by executing a printer driver corresponding to the printer above-detected, is stored, so as to acquire the print data from the predetermined storing destination site concerned; and a data transferring section to transfer the print data to the printer above-detected.
