<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent leakage of secret data by limiting use of an external user. <P>SOLUTION: When image data is output from a specific image processor which has printed secret data, a server confirms whether or not a user who has instructed output is a permitted user or non-permitted user. When the user is a permitted user, the server permits printing. When the user is a non-permitted user, the server confirms whether or not a fixed period has passed since the specific image processor is finally used. When the fixed period has passed, the server permits printing. When the fixed period has not passed, the server limits output by either stopping printing or performing document filing for storing the image data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
