Image forming apparatus and image forming method

Abstract

Image forming apparatus and image forming method. An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit, an image data generating unit, a memory, and a saving unit. The receiving unit receives a printing instruction. The image data generating unit generates output image data in response to the print instruction received by the receiving unit. The memory stores designation information for designating a print instruction to acquire operation history information. The holding unit holds operation history information indicating that image forming processing has been performed in response to the printing instruction by using the output image data in a case where the specified information on the printing instruction received by the receiving unit matches the specified information stored in the memory.
