<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of inhibiting copying processing without permission applied to a recording medium on which an image based on pay image data is formed. <P>SOLUTION: A pay information providing apparatus 90 transfers image data selected by a user to a copying machine 80 together with charge information corresponding to the image data. The copying machine 80 uses an image forming section 86 to form an image (original image) based on the image data and a sub image based on the charge information transferred from the pay information providing apparatus 90 on the same recording paper. Further, in the case of executing the copying processing of the recording paper on which the images as above are formed, when a read section 84 reads the original image and the sub image from the recording paper and can collect the charge based on the charge information denoted by the read sub image, a control section 81 of the copying machine 80 allows the image forming section 86 to again form the read original image and sub image on the recording paper. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
