IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an authentication unit, a storing unit, an image reading unit, a printing unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The authentication unit performs user authentication upon printing of an image of a document. The storing unit stores image data in advance. The image reading unit reads an image of a document. The printing unit forms and prints an image on the basis of the document image read by the image reading unit. The determination unit determines whether the document image read by the image reading unit has a relation with the image data stored in the storing unit. The control unit performs control, in response to determination by the determination unit that the document image read by the image reading unit has a relation with the image data stored in the storing unit, to activate the printing unit, without activating the authentication unit.
