Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided with a controller which distinguishes the type of original from image data obtained by prescanning an original image and selects image processing parameters suited to the type of original. When automatic image forming mode is selected, the controller outputs, depending on whether a user has selected monochrome or multi-color image processing operation, a control signal indicating whether or not to prescan the original image to obtain information necessary for distinguishing the type of original to an image scanning unit.

Abstract: An image processing system includes an image forming device 100 and an image transmission device 101. The image transmission device 101 is equipped with a driver 104 enabling formation of an image to a whole area of a recording member according to a marginless printing mode of the image forming device 100 corresponding to a feature/type of the recording member. The driver 104 of the image transmission device 101 is capable of forming the image to the whole area of the recording member in the marginless printing mode of the image forming device 100 according to the feature/type of the recording member. This is effective in recording the image on the whole area of the recording member having a specific feature/type, such as a thick paper, an OHP sheet, an envelope, a special paper, a postcard, or a business card.
