<p>An image forming apparatus places restriction on a print job. A memory (13) stores a plurality of items of first print job information and corresponding print restriction levels. A print job information obtaining section (11) obtains a plurality of items of second print job information from the print job. A restriction level selecting section (11) reads the print restriction levels from the memory (13) by using the items of second print information. The restriction level selecting section (11) selects the highest. one of the print restriction levels. A printing section (19) prints print data contained in the print job at the selected highest one of the print restriction levels. The second print restriction levels may be lower in restriction level than the first print restriction levels. The user may be advised of a third printing format if the highest one of the first print restriction levels indicates that the print job is restricted.</p> |
