<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for performing billing management of printing with an easy operation on the side requesting the printing of document data. <P>SOLUTION: Upon registration of document data that a general affairs department issues a request to print the document data to a sales department, the document data is registered in a billing management box designated as a registration destination in an MFP (Multi Function Peripheral) allocated to the sales department (S301). The MFP adds a department ID of the general affairs department which is authentication information at this operation, as billing destination information, to the document data (S303). When the general affairs department sets an upper limit of printing of the data, an upper limit value counter is added to the document data (S305 and S307). When the general affairs department issues a request of notification, a fact that the document data is registered is displayed on a panel of the MFP allocated to the sales department; thus, the sales department receives the notification (S309 and S311). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
