IMAGE HANDLING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure security in the reusage of bitmap data generated in a printout process.

SOLUTION: An image handling device for reusing the bitmap data generated in a printout process which requests a first password includes an operative part for receiving an input from a user and a controller for determining whether the reusage of the bitmap data is permitted to the user by comparing information input from the operative part with a second password representing restrictive information relating to the reusage of the bitmap data generated with reference to the first password. The reusage of the bitmap data includes at least one of operations of re-printing, image editing and conversion to a pre-determined file format.
