Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a read and analysis unit that analyzes print setting items recorded by a printer and stored in a memory card, and a generation unit that generates additional data relating to print settings required upon printing by the printer based on the print setting items analyzed. The image processing apparatus reduces the user's burden of manipulating print setting items for each printer, and avoids an incident in which print setting items that cannot be set by a printer that is to output image data are set.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a reversing unit for reversing a sheet with an image formed and discharging the reversed sheet, a determining unit for determining whether the sheet with an image formed is reversed or not reversed with the reversing unit before the sheet is discharged and a page order control unit including a first mode of forming images of a plurality of pages in a first page mode and a second page mode of forming images of a plurality of pages in a second page mode different from the first page mode, wherein in accordance with whether the apparatus operates in the first mode or in the second mode, the determining unit determines whether the sheet with an image formed is reversed or not reversed with the reversing unit before the sheet is discharged.
