In this case, the person who has received the printout may copy the document or transmit it by using a facsimile, which creates a situation where copies of the document are in the hands of an indeterminate number of people
This could create a risk of information leakage

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes an image receiving unit configured to receive image data, a sender identifying unit configured to identify a sender of the received image data, a check unit configured to check whether the identified sender corresponds to a predetermined sender, a management information providing unit configured to provide management-purpose image data obtained by encoding management information for controlling at least one of a transmission operation for transmitting an image scanned from a printout and a copy operation for copying an image scanned from a printout, and a print unit configured to print the management-purpose image data together with the received image data in response to a check result by the check unit indicating that the identified sender corresponds to the predetermined sender.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, and a computer-readable recording medium recorded with a program for inhibiting transmission of document data scanned by a scanner or the like. Background technique [0002] In recent years, electrophotography-based printers have been widely used. Use of such a printer makes it possible to easily perform document duplication. In particular, color multifunction peripherals are capable of producing very accurate replicas that are indistinguishable from the originals. Therefore, it becomes very important to prevent forgery or illegal copying of sensitive documents. [0003] In order to prevent falsification of sensitive documents, etc., various measures are implemented. [0004] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-121430 discloses an image processing apparatus having a background pattern printing function that prints an inconspicuous ...
