CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-053680, filed Mar. 25, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

Embodiments described herein relate generally to an image forming apparatus and a control method of an image forming apparatus.

BACKGROUND

An image forming apparatus executes printing in response to a print request. The image forming apparatus forms an image on a conveyance unit that conveys a paper sheet such as paper, and the paper sheet and discharges the paper sheet on which the image is formed. Further, the image forming apparatus can read a paper sheet (e.g., an original document) and generate image data.

The image forming apparatus can cause a cloud server to perform various processes on image data by transmitting the acquired image data to the cloud server. However, depending on the process executed by the cloud server, high-resolution image data may be required. Therefore, the image forming apparatus needs to transmit high-resolution image data to the cloud server, which causes a problem in that a communication load increases.
