<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can allow a user conducting the outputting of an image to surely collect a sheet having the image formed thereon and can prevent the sheet from being left as it is. <P>SOLUTION: When a device controller 7 performs forming of an image according to image data received from external devices PC1, PC2 connected to a network NW, it carries out authentication processing of a user based on identification information received together with the image data. When the authentication is completed, the device controller 7 allows a CPU 80 to convert a user name of the authenticated user and job information registered in an HDD 81 corresponding to the user name to code information, and then synthesizes the produced code information to a predetermined area of the image data received from the external devices PC1, PC2. The CPU 80 transfers the image data synthesized with the code data to an image forming section 2, and allows an image processing section 8 to form an image on a paper. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
