Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming system, an image forming apparatus, and a method, and particularly relates to management of print data using a wireless ID (Radio Frequency Identification: RFID) chip that holds a unique ID. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, when duplicating printed matter, the printed matter is scanned using a copier or the like, and the image is reproduced on printing paper. Also, if the printed matter is printed by a printer, the file stored in the computer is retrieved and reprinted. In this way, as a printing system connecting a computer and a printer, conventionally, there is known a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-105689. [0003] However, when duplicating with a copier, of course, the image quality may be lowered or the image may be skewed compared with the original printed matter. Also, when printing with a printer, it can take a considerable amount of time to...
