Abstract
An image forming system includes an information management unit, at least one image forming unit, an authenticating unit, a determining unit, an adding unit, a notifying unit, and a controller. The information management unit stores and manages print information. Each image forming unit forms an image on a recording medium in accordance with the print information. The authenticating unit authenticates a recipient of an output result of the image forming unit. The determining unit determines whether or not the print information requires authentication. The adding unit adds authentication information about the recipient to the print information when the print information requires authentication. The notifying unit notifies the recipient of information regarding the print information with the authentication information added. The controller controls the information management unit to transmit the print information to the image forming unit to form an image when the recipient has been successfully authenticated.
