Abstract

An image forming apparatus and an image forming apparatus system which can reduce operation time and labor of users are provided. The image forming apparatus (100) includes: a QR code reader (162) that reads a QR code; a code analyzer (182) that analyzes the QR code read by the QR code reader (162) and that generates use history information that is information regarding history of use informationof a user; an information updater (187) that adds use information obtained this time to the use history information generated by the code analyzer (182) to update the use history information; a code generator (181) that generates a QR code based on the use history information updated by the information updater (187); and a display unit (161) that outputs the QR code generated by the code generator(181).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and an image forming apparatus system that implement operation assistance using image codes. Background technique [0002] Image forming apparatuses such as copiers, facsimile machines, printers, and multifunction devices are sometimes installed in convenience stores or the like. When installed in a convenience store or the like, it is used by an unspecified number of users. Therefore, the users include those who do not know how to operate the image forming apparatus and those who are not familiar with the operation. Therefore, an image forming apparatus that can be easily operated is desired, for example, an image forming apparatus that is of an interactive type and performs operation settings sequentially according to instructions displayed on a screen. However, such an interactive image forming apparatus has to be set in accordance with instructions sequentially, which is troublesome for u...
