A general user given beforehand a proxy right by an administrator is allowed to register a special user having the right to use an apparatus in a range of the function right equal to that of himself by operating a special user setting window.

Image formation apparatus capable of personal authentication, control method of image formation apparatus, and computer readable medium having software program stored therein

An image forming device for executing an authentication print job including: a communication interface unit for receiving print data; a job data holding unit for holding job data based on the print data for the authentication print job; a user authentication unit for outputting the result of the user authentication to a control unit; a job execution unit for executing a job based on the job data; a job list generating unit for generating a list of the authentication print jobs; a display unit for displaying the list; and the control unit for, in receiving the result of the user authentication, acquiring a number of the authentication print jobs of the user authenticated by the user authentication, wherein, when the number is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, the control unit causes the job list generating unit to generate the list of the authentication print jobs of the authenticated user, the display unit to display the list, and the job execution unit to execute the authentication print job of the authenticated user.

Image forming device, image forming method, and image forming program

An image forming device which is arranged to execute an authentication print job. The image forming device includes: a communication interface unit which receives print data; a job data holding unit which holds job data for the an authentication print job based on the print data; a job execution unit which executes a job based on the job data; an authentication unit; a user authentication unit which outputs a user authentication result; a control unit which instructs a start of execution of the authentication print job to the job execution unit based on the user authentication result; and an instruction generation unit which outputs to the control unit an instruction to change a setting with respect to the authentication print job based on an input of a user authentication result, wherein: the instruction generation unit outputs the instruction to change the setting with respect to an authentication print job in an execution state or an execution queuing state based on the input of the user authentication result that is received in an after user authentication period; and the control unit executes a process of changing the setting based on the instruction.

Image forming device, image forming method, and image forming program which requires user authentication to start a printout process

The present invention is intended to improve operability of an image processing device by reading a document with multiple pages at a time, changing a page addressed to each destination, and transmitting the page to each destination. In order to achieve this, an image processing devicefor example comprises: a scanner unitfor reading a document with multiple pages and for generating image data; a destination setting partfor setting a plurality of destinations to which the image data generated by the scanner unitare addressed; a transmission page setting partfor selecting at least one page addressed to each of the plurality of destinations from the multiple pages for which the image data are generated by the scanner unit, and for setting the selected page as a transmission page addressed to each destination; a file creation partfor creating a transmission file containing the image data of the selected page to be transmitted to each destination based on the transmission page set for each destination by the transmission page setting part; and a file transmission partfor individually transmitting the transmission file created by the file creation partto each destination.

Image processing device, image processing method and program

An image forming apparatus is provided with a job storage portion that stores a print job relating to an image forming process and a command job relating to a control process of operation of the image forming apparatus, a job management portion that registers the print job and the command job in the job storage portion and manages the print job and the command job, an image formation portion that executes the print job, a command execution portion that executes the command job, and a controller that performs control such that the print job stored in the job storage portion is executed ahead of the command job.
