PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate aggregate preview data regardless of print setting.SOLUTION: In a print control device 2 of an image formation system 1, a CPU 21 acquires a data type and data conditions for regulating the aggregation number of preview data on the basis of the image data and print setting of a print job to be transmitted from host devices HS1 to HSn, and determines the aggregation number in the preview data of the image data on the basis of the data type and data conditions, and the CPU 21 delivers the determined aggregation number to an ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuit) 22, and the ASIC 22 generates the aggregation number of preview data on the basis of the image data and the print setting and the aggregation number, and outputs the preview data to a display device 3. The display device 3 displays the preview image on the basis of the preview data.
