Abstract: A printing system includes: a first printing device, which has a first print processing unit that performs print processing and a first display unit that displays a setting input screen that receives a predetermined input of settings; a second printing device, which is provided on the downstream side of the first printing device, has a second print processing unit that performs print processing and a second display unit that displays a setting input screen that receives a predetermined input of settings; and a control unit that controls the first printing device and the second printing device. The control unit enables a setting to be input via the setting input screen of only one of first display unit and the second display unit in the case that input of settings having the same content is to be received by the first printing device and the second printing device.

Abstract: An image processing device to receive print data generated based on image data of an original document, the original document including color pixels and being determined to be printed by color printing, and to store the received print data in a storage unit in preparation for a possible reprinting operation based on the received print data, the device including: a redetermination unit configured to redetermine whether to carry out color printing or monochrome printing to achieve a printing operation to print a part of the original document by using the stored print data.

Abstract: An image processing device for determining whether to carry out color printing or monochrome printing to achieve a printing operation on a print sheet based on an original document, the device including: a determination area obtaining unit configured to automatically obtain a partial area of the original document estimated to be printed on the print sheet; and a color/monochrome determination unit configured to carry out the determination with using image data of the obtained partial area.
