An electronic device includes an image reading section, a marker detection section, and a processing section. The marker detection section analyzes image data and detects a first marker portion indicated in the image data and a second marker portion indicated in the image data in a mode different from a mode of the first marker, and also extracts texts indicated in the first marker portion and the second marker portion. The processing section performs processing of transmitting the image data where the text indicated in the first marker portion is defined as a file name of the image data and the text indicated in the second marker portion is defined as a transmission address to which the image data is transmitted.

Electronic device and marker processing method

A job executing system includes an image forming apparatus, a user terminal, a computer, and a bank account management system. The online payment service transmits a payment completion notification of a charge and a payment code to the computer with the computer identifier made to correspond to the payment code in first payment code management information. When the computer receives the payment completion notification, the computer transmits the payment completion notification of the charge for the job with the job identifier made to correspond to the payment code in the second payment code management information to the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus having the image forming apparatus identifier made to correspond to the payment code in the second payment code management information. When the image forming apparatus receives the payment completion notification, the image forming apparatus executes the job with the job identifier.

A printing management system includes an image forming apparatus and a server apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes an acceptance section, a printing section, a reading section, a first transmission section, a first reception section, and a determination section. The determination section, when the acceptance section accepts a print request or a read request, determines whether or not template paper is to be printed, on the basis of the total number of printed copies and the total number of read copies received by the first reception section. The server apparatus includes a second reception section, a storage section, a counting section, and a second transmission section. The counting section obtains the total number of printed copies on the basis of the number of printed copies and user identification information, obtains the total number of read copies on the basis of the number of read copies and the user identification information.
