Embodiment Construction

[0018]

[0019] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a multifunction peripheral control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, the multifunction machine control system is configured by connecting one or more multifunction machines 100 and an authentication server 200 via a network. For example, the multifunction machine 100 can use multiple functions such as copy function, scanner function, facsimile function, and printer function. The authentication server 200 performs authentication processing (user authentication, authority restriction management, and output sheet limit management) of jobs executed by the multifunction peripheral 100 and manages the multifunction peripheral 100 .

[0020]

[0021] exist figure 1 Among them, the multifunction peripheral 100 includes an operation unit 101 , an image reading unit 102 , an image forming unit 103 , a communication unit 104 , a device control unit 105 , ...

Abstract

This invention provides a multi-functional peripheral and a multi-functional peripheral control system that manage a total number of output sheets of a user strictly and accurately even when an authentication server of a multi-functional peripheral is not able to perform authentication due to network failure or the like and authentication and output limitation are performed in the multi-functional peripheral. When the number of outputtable sheets registered in a user information management table is not 0, the multi-functional peripheral executes a copy job. When the number of copy outputtable sheets becomes 0, or when copy output of all pages is completed, the number of output sheets is deducted from the number of copy outputtable sheets registered in the user information management table, and thereby the user information management table is updated. Then, when connection to the authentication server is restored, the authentication server updates a user information management DB.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multifunctional machine control system in which a multifunction machine and an authentication server performing authentication processing and limiting the number of output sheets are connected to a network, and a multifunction machine of the machine control system. Background technique [0002] Generally, in an environment where a user can select any one of a plurality of image forming apparatuses to perform copying, printing, or facsimile transmission, etc., authentication, authority restriction, output sheet limit, charge management, etc. are performed on a user-by-user basis , connect a plurality of image forming apparatuses and the authentication server to the network, and the authentication server performs unified management of the above-mentioned management. [0003] However, if the authentication server cannot be authenticated due to failure (down) or network failure, the user cannot use the image forming appar...
