Abstract
An image forming apparatus performs printing based on a print job and receives a completion notification from an automatic printed material delivery apparatus. Based on receipt of the completion notification, the image forming apparatus transmits a receipt acknowledgement request to a personal computer (PC) corresponding to a user (a requested user or a designated user) based on the job. Further, the image forming apparatus receives, from the PC, an acknowledgement notification based on a user operation performed on the PC in connection with the receipt acknowledgement request. In response to receipt of the acknowledgement notification, the image forming apparatus registers information indicating that the printed material has been received by the user based on the job as a job log of the job.
