发明名称 Image forming apparatus
摘要 <p>The present invention is directed to the provision of an image forming apparatus capable of effectively preventing the formation of images related to illegal conducts by making provisions so that, even in situations where images can be formed based on image data outputted from any arbitrary image output apparatus, the image output apparatus which outputted the image data can be identified without fail. When image data is inputted from a portable image output apparatus, first it is checked whether identification information has been inputted together with the image data (s3), then an image of an identification pattern is created (s4 -&gt; s7), and image formation is performed based on image data obtained by attaching the image data of the identification pattern to the input image data (s8). On the other hand, when image data is inputted from a fixed image output apparatus, first it is checked whether identification pattern data is included in a designated position in the image data (s9), and then image formation is performed based on the input image data (s10 -&gt; s8). The image thus formed by the digital copying machine (1) contains the image of the identification pattern by which the image supply device that outputted the source image data is identified. &lt;IMAGE&gt;</p>
