Abstract
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus includes an operation panel, the image forming apparatus forming an image based on image data; and a user terminal having a printer driver capable of configuring preliminary setting information pertaining to formation of the image. The user terminal is able to transmit the preliminary setting information configured by the printer driver to the image forming apparatus. When the image forming apparatus is accessed by a user after receiving the preliminary setting information, the image forming apparatus transitions to an image-data acquisition standby state to accept an operation to acquire image data, and when the image data is acquired, the image forming apparatus forms an image based on the image data by applying the preliminary setting information.
