Abstract
To provide an image forming system capable of preventing printing that is not intended by a user, an image forming system includes a server capable of storing image data and an image forming apparatus connected to the server via a network and configured to form an image. The image forming apparatus includes an inquiring unit, a determining unit, a requesting unit, and an instructing unit. The inquiring unit is configured to inquire the server for a printing condition of the image data in a case where an input of a registration ID is accepted by an accepting unit, the printing condition being registered in association with the image data. The requesting unit is configured to request the server for downloading of the image data in a case where the determining unit determines that the image forming apparatus conforms with the printing condition. The instructing unit is configured to control an image forming unit to form the image on a sheet, based on the image data downloaded from the server.
