Abstract

An image forming apparatus has a scanner capable of reading, from an original having a wireless tag unit attached thereto, an original image and data stored in the wireless tag unit. The original image read by the scanner can be duplicated by a duplicating unit. Moreover, a user who can use the image forming apparatus is preset, and user information representing a security level for user is registered into a database in advance. When a user executed duplication of an original, user authentication is performed on the basis of the user information registered in the database. If data of a security level for management is stored in the wireless tag unit, the security level for user is compared with the security level for management, and also in accordance with the result of the user authentication, it is determined whether duplication of the original is permitted or not. Thus, the duplication is permitted or prohibited. When the duplication is permitted, the duplication can be carried out using the preset processing function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus including an MFP (Multi Function Peripheral), which is a digital multifunction machine, and a copier, and a document management system in which improved security is achieved. Background technique [0002] Generally, some image forming apparatuses such as MFPs and copiers have multiple functions including a copy function, a scan function, and the like. In such a multifunctional image forming apparatus, when the same image data is copied multiple times, or when it is scanned, the image data is temporarily saved in a storage device such as an HDD, and then the image data is retrieved from the storage device is read and output via the printer. Also, an MFP and a PC (Personal Computer) can be connected through a network, and image data generated by the PC can be printed through the MFP, or image data scanned and read by the MFP can be transferred to the PC. [0003] Meanwhile, in an image forming...
