Image forming apparatus, image forming system, and method

摘要

An image forming apparatus is connectable to an external storage device and includes an authentication data generating section and a writing section. Upon occurrence of a prescribed event, the authentication data generating section generates authentication data and transmits the generated authentication data to a server. Once the external storage device is connected, the writing section obtains first data relating the event according to whether or not the authentication data transmitted to the server is stored in the external storage device and writes the obtained first data into the external storage device.
