Embodiment Construction

[0014] Hereinafter, an example of the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in this embodiment, a multifunction peripheral having the function of an image forming apparatus will be described as an example. In addition, here, the multifunction machine according to the present embodiment is installed in a store such as a supermarket or a convenience store, is managed by an employee of the store, and is used by customers who visit the store. That is, an employee is an example of a manager, and a customer who visits a store is an example of a user. It should be noted that practitioners may perform operations that should have been performed by visiting customers, but in this case, practitioners are considered as visiting customers.

[0015] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the mechanical structure of the multifunction peripheral 100 according to this embodiment.

[0016] The multifunctional peripheral 100 has a reusable paper tray 1, an i...

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a decoloring unit for performing decoloring processing on a sheet. An image forming unit forms an image on a sheet using decolorable material. A reuse tray receives a sheet provided by a user. A processor determines whether a sheet is provided on the reuse tray. When it is determined that a sheet is provided on the reuse tray, the decoloring unit performs the decoloring processing on the sheet. The processor determines whether the sheet meets a predetermined usability condition. When it is determined that the sheet meets the predetermined condition, the image forming unit forms an image on the sheet. When the image forming unit forms an image on the sheet that is determined to meet the predetermined condition, the processor updates a rewards account of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and an operating method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a technique has been realized in which an image is formed on a medium such as recording paper using a non-visible developer, whereby the image is not visualized and the medium can be reused. [0003] When an image forming apparatus employing this technique is used by a company, it is obvious that it can reduce the purchase cost of a medium. Therefore, there is a clear incentive to reuse an unvisualized medium. [0004] However, when the above-mentioned image forming apparatuses are installed in supermarkets, convenience stores, etc., and used by customers who visit the store, the customers hardly enjoy the advantage of reusing the medium without visualizing the image. As a result, the image may not be effectively used. Functions that are not visualized. [0005] Thus, it is desirable to provide an incentive to us...
