Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A printing controlling terminal apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a printing controlling method thereof are provided. The printing controlling terminal apparatus includes a user interface that receives a command to print regarding a document, a determiner that determines if the document intended by the command to print is printed in color, a print data generator that generates print data regarding the document according to a result of the determining, and a communicator that transmits the generated print data to an image forming apparatus. The determiner divides each page of the document into a plurality of blocks, extracts color information from each of the plurality of blocks by applying weighted values to color values of the plurality of divided blocks, and determines whether to print the document in color based on the color information.
