Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operating mechanism, a storage device, and a control device. The operating mechanism executes a job. The control device functions as a controller. When accepting a request to prepare execution of the job, the controller allows the operating mechanism to prepare the execution of the job to thus generate data for output and allows the storage device to save the data for output. When accepting a request to execute the job, the controller allows the operating mechanism to execute the job based on the data for output.

Abstract: The image forming apparatus executes a process of generating image data of an alternative image involving a smaller consumption quantity of color material than an image contained in a replacement-object area and then generating replaced image data in which the image data of the replacement-object area has been replaced with the image data of the alternative image, and the control section instructs a printing section to execute color material-saving printing of printing an image based on the replaced image data on a sheet. The alternative image is an image containing information for allowing an image based on the image data of the replacement-object area to be displayed by an information terminal that has read the alternative image.
