PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To print a specific pattern within a region where a copy inhibited document is printed, while saving the consumption of toner used for printing the specific pattern. SOLUTION: An image capturing section 110 reads a document and captures a source image. A specific pattern storage section 141 stores a specific pattern representing, with a dot pattern, apparatus specification information for specifying an apparatus which prints the source image on a recording paper sheet. An extraction section 132 extracts a real image region excepting a margin region from the source image and extracts a specific region that is a region for printing the specific pattern, based on the extracted real image region. A printing section 133 uses yellow toner to print the specific pattern within the real image region. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
