An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit, an image forming unit, a determining unit, an analyzing unit and a control unit. The receiving unit receives image data. The image forming unit performs a predetermined image forming process based on the image data received by the receiving unit. The determining unit determines as to whether or not the image data contains a barcode pattern. When the determining unit determines that the image data contains the barcode pattern, the analyzing unit analyzes as to whether a drawing direction of the barcode pattern is a vertical direction or a horizontal direction. The control unit that controls, based on an analyzing result of the analyzing unit, the predetermined image forming process being performed for the barcode pattern by the image forming unit.
