<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a selection error when printing data for use in the formation of an image are selected from among a plurality of printing data which are stored in a storage means, and to make it unnecessary to perform high-load processing such as simplification of image data by using an image forming apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The printing data includes preview image data Dg2 wherein the image within the range of a maximum effective coordinate area Amax enabling the image to be formed by the image forming apparatus is simplified, and wherein a coordinate is set outside the range of the area Amax. In the image forming apparatus, a preview image (a reduced-size image wherein the image of image data Dg1 to be printed within the range of the area Amax is simplified) corresponding to each of the printing data is displayed in an as-is state in the selection of the printing data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
