Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to, in a case where a print instruction to form an image by plural image forming apparatuses is received from a terminal apparatus and a pre-confirmation image of a print result is requested and in a case where an image forming apparatus is not possible to execute a printing process according to setting content designated in the print instruction, generate a pre-confirmation image corresponding to an image, which is obtained in a case where the printing process is executed in a state in which the setting content designated in the received print instruction is changed to setting content that is executable in the image forming apparatus to transmit the generated pre-confirmation image to the terminal apparatus that has transmitted the print instruction, and change the setting content of the received print instruction to the setting content that is executable in the image forming apparatus to transmit the changed setting content to another image forming apparatus that executes a next printing process.
