Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit, a storage unit, a login state determination unit, and a control unit. The receiving unit receives a facsimile-received document via a network. The storage unit stores the facsimile-received document received by the receiving unit in a reception box. The login state determination unit determines whether a user to be charged is logged in, a user who does not need to be charged is logged in, or no user is logged in. The control unit controls the storage unit to store the facsimile-received document in the reception box instead of outputting the facsimile-received document when the receiving unit receives the facsimile-received document and if the login state determination unit determines that no user is logged in or a user to be charged is logged in.
