Embodiment Construction

[0012] Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0013] figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a configuration example of the digital multifunction peripheral according to the embodiment. The digital multi-function peripheral (MFP, Multi-Functional Peripheral: multifunctional peripheral) according to this embodiment functions as an image erasing device and an image forming device. Such as figure 1 As shown, the digital multifunction peripheral has a scanner 1 , a printer 2 , an operation panel 4 , and a system control unit 5 .

[0014] The scanner 1 is a device for reading an image of a document and converting it into image data. The scanner 1 includes, for example, a CCD line sensor that converts an image on a reading surface of a document into image data. The scanner 1 can scan a document placed on a document glass, and can also read an image of a document fed by an automatic document feeder (ADF: Auto Document Feeder). T...

Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises a first image forming unit, a second image forming unit and a processing unit. The first image forming unit forms an image using an erasable image forming material. The second image forming unit forms an image using an inerasable image forming material. The processing unit forms an image to be printed using an erasable image forming material with the first image forming unit, and forms a specific pattern for duplication prevention using an inerasable image forming material with the second image forming unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is an image forming apparatus that forms an image using an image forming material that can be erased (decolorized) by erasing processing. In addition, in order to protect an image requiring protection such as copy prohibition, the image forming apparatus may form a designated pattern such as a pattern together with the image. However, in practice, there may be cases where the erasable image forming material is not completely erased and remains after erasing. When a part of the image to be protected remains in a copyable state by erasing the designated pattern through the erasing process, the part of the image to be protected is in a state where unauthorized copying is possible.
