Abstract
An image forming system includes a mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus. The mobile terminal obtains a list related to document data from the image forming apparatus, receives, from a user, a selection of document data via the list to create selected document data, transmits information indicating the selected document data to the image forming apparatus, causes a display device to display a preview image based on the preview image data, accepts print setting information and a print instruction of the document data corresponding to the preview image, and transmits the print setting information and the print instruction of the document data to the image forming apparatus. The mobile terminal sets the print setting information and transmits the print instruction of the selected document data to the image forming apparatus without receiving the selected document data from the image forming apparatus.
