Image forming apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and image forming method

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• controlling a first image former that forms a first image using a color material having a first color composition;
• controlling a second image former that forms, using a color material having a second color composition, a second image to be superimposed on the first image;
• if an image formation instruction, including information indicating that the first image and the second image are to be superimposed to each other is received, with a first different image formation instruction being received, the first different image formation instruction having identification information identical to identification information for the image formation instruction,
• causing the first image former to form the first image in accordance with a first image formation instruction, corresponding to the first color composition, out of the image formation instruction and the first different image formation instruction;
• transmitting to the second processor a second image formation instruction corresponding to the second color composition;
• and
• causing the second image former to form the second image in accordance with the second image formation instruction, and
• if the image formation instruction, including the information indicating that the first image and the second image are to be superimposed to each other, is received, with the first different image formation instruction having the identical identification information not being received, while with a second different formation instruction being received, the second different formation instruction having user identification information identical to user identification information that is on a user having transmitted the image formation instruction and is included in the image formation instruction,
• causing the first image former to form the first image in accordance with a first image formation instruction, corresponding to the first color composition, out of the image formation instruction and the second different image formation instruction,
• transmitting to the second processor a second image formation instruction corresponding to the second color composition, and
• causing the second image former to form the second image in accordance with the second image formation instruction.

An image forming method comprising:

• controlling a first image former that forms a first image using a color material having a first color composition;
• controlling a second image former that forms, using a color material having a second color composition, a second image to be superimposed on the first image,
• if an image formation instruction, including information indicating that the first image and the second image are to be superimposed to each other is received, with a first different image formation instruction being received, the first different image formation instruction having identification information identical to identification information for the image formation instruction,
• causing the first image former to form the first image in accordance with a first image formation instruction, corresponding to the first color composition, out of the image formation instruction and the first different image formation instruction,
• transmitting to the second processor a second image formation instruction corresponding to the second color composition, and
• causing the second image former to form the second image in accordance with the second image formation instruction;
• and
• if the image formation instruction, including the information indicating that the first image and the second image are to be superimposed to each other, is received, with the first different image formation instruction having the identical identification information not being received, while with a second different formation instruction being received, the second different formation instruction having user identification information identical to user identification information that is on a user having transmitted the image formation instruction and is included in the image formation instruction,
• causing the first image former to form the first image in accordance with a first image formation instruction, corresponding to the first color composition, out of the image formation instruction and the second different image formation instruction,
• transmitting to the second processor a second image formation instruction corresponding to the second color composition, and
• causing the second image former to form the second image in accordance with the second image formation instruction.
