Abstract
An image forming apparatus has an image reading portion generating document image data, a job execution portion executing a job based on the document image data, a control portion controlling the job execution portion, and a storage portion storing a registered signature image. The control portion determines the degree of match between a document signature image present in the document image data and the registered signature image. The control portion permits execution of the job when the degree of match is equal to or higher than a first threshold value and inhibits execution of the job when the degree of match is lower than the first threshold value.
