Abstract: An image forming apparatus that enables prevention of a print error of different sizes of characters and graphics from those intended by the user, during execution of printing involving magnification, such as aggregation printing. When performing the image formation, a controller unit determines whether or not a processing instruction instructing execution of predetermined processing on the image data has been given. When it is determined that the predetermined processing instruction has been given, the controller unit displays an image to be formed on the recording sheet in the same size as when printed thereon, as a real-size preview image, before executing the image formation on the recording sheet according to image data on which the predetermined processing has been performed.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus communicatable with other image processing apparatus, determines whether the other image processing apparatus has image data corresponding to application data and whether the image data is processible itself. If the apparatus determines the other apparatus has the image data and the data is processible itself, the apparatus acquires the image data from the other apparatus. If the image processing apparatus determines the other apparatus does not have the image data or the data is not processible, the apparatus acquires the application data from the other apparatus. When the application data is acquired, the image processing apparatus converts the data into image data of a printable data format. Then, the converted image data or the acquired image data is printed.
