Image forming apparatus that performs an accomplishment determination process and non-transitory recording medium storing computer readable program

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a determination part that performs an accomplishment determination process which is a process of determining whether or not a job is accomplishable prior to a billing process using a pre-billing method which is a billing method of billing for execution of the job before the job is completed;
• and
• a decision part that decides whether or not to perform the billing process based on the determination result of the accomplishment determination process,
• wherein, when it is determined that the job is accomplishable, the decision part decides that the billing process is to be performed for the execution of the entire job,
• when it is determined that there is an executable partial job which is a partial job of the entire job which is capable of being executed even though it is determined that the job is not accomplishable,
• it is decided that the billing process is to be performed for execution of the executable partial job of the entire job, and
• it is decided that the billing process is not to be performed for execution of a remaining partial job of the entire job except for the executable partial job.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing a computer built in an image forming apparatus to perform:

• performing an accomplishment determination process which is a process of determining whether or not a job is accomplishable prior to a billing process using a pre-billing method which is a billing method of billing for execution of the job before the job is completed;
• and
• deciding whether or not to perform the billing process based on the determination result of the accomplishment determination process,
• wherein, in the deciding,
• when it is determined that the job is accomplishable in the performing of the accomplishment determination process, it is decided that the billing process is to be performed for the execution of the job, and
• when it is determined that the job is not accomplishable in the performing of the accomplishment determination process, it is decided that the billing process is not to be performed for the execution of the job.
