1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an image forming unit that creates a printout; and a CPU, the CPU implementing a charging unit that charges for the printout created by the image forming unit; an error detection unit that detects an error that occurs during the creation of the printout by the image forming unit; a determination unit that determines whether or not an error that occurred in the image forming unit is an error made intentionally by a user based on a detection result of the error detection unit; and a charge-condition changing unit that, when the determination unit determines that the error is an error made intentionally by the user, changes charge conditions under which the charging unit makes a charge, wherein when the determination unit determines that the error is an error made intentionally by the user, the charge-condition changing unit changes the charge conditions so as to advance timing at which the charging unit makes a charge sooner than in normal times, wherein the determination unit determines a plurality of errors made by one and the same user with abnormal operation as an intentional error, wherein the error made intentionally by the user is an error caused by unnecessary operation during image formation processing, where the unnecessary operation is an operation that activates an interlock or power shutdown, wherein the operation that activates an interlock is opening of a cover of the main body and opening of a cover of the document feeder of the platen cover while the image forming apparatus is performing image formation processing, but does not have a paper jam. |
