IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND SERVER

摘要

An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, and a server which communicates with the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus requests a transmission of image data to the server, receives, from the server, conversion data which is image data converted by the sever according to a conversion condition, and performs printing based on the conversion data. The server converts the image data requested to be transmitted according to the conversion condition to generate the conversion data from the image data, and transmits the generated conversion data to the image forming apparatus. At least one of the server and the image forming apparatus further determines the conversion condition based on specific information of the image forming apparatus.
