Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, a reading unit, a verification unit, and a control unit. The printing unit prints an image on a recording sheet. The reading unit reads the image printed by the printing unit. The verification unit verifies the image read by the reading unit. The control unit performs control to cause information, indicating that the image read by the reading unit is not to be verified by the verification unit, to be printed on the recording sheet with the image. When the reading unit reads the information, the control unit performs control so that the image is not to be verified by the verification unit.
