Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device and circuitry. The circuitry acquires output information of printing from image information, acquires a setting condition related to a usable printing function, determines whether to correct the output information, based on the setting condition, corrects the output information, based on a determined result and the setting condition, receives an operation of requesting execution of printing from a user, and cause the image forming device to execute printing, based on the output information and a request from the user.
Claims12
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming device;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- scan image information that is a code printed on a sheet;
- acquire output information of printing from the image information;
- acquire a setting condition related to a usable printing function;
- determine whether to correct the output information, based on the setting condition;
- correct the output information, based on a determined result and the setting condition;
- receive an operation of requesting execution of printing from a user;
- cause the image forming device to execute printing, based on the output information and a request from the user;
- acquire privilege information related to a privilege of the user, the privilege allowing the user to use the printing function;
- and
- determine whether to correct the output information by checking whether both the setting condition and the privilege information include the printing function included in the output information.

An information processing method comprising:
- scanning image information that is a code printed on a sheet;
- acquiring output information of printing from the image information;
- acquiring a setting condition related to a usable printing function;
- determining whether to correct the output information, based on the setting condition;
- correcting the output information, based on a determined result in the determining and the setting condition;
- receiving an operation of requesting execution of printing from a user;
- executing printing, based on the output information and a request from the user;

An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming device;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- acquire output information of printing from image information;
- acquire a setting condition related to a usable printing function;
- determine whether to correct the output information, based on the setting condition;
- correct the output information, based on a determined result and the setting condition;
- receive an operation of requesting execution of printing from a user;
- and
- cause the image forming device to execute printing, based on the output information and a request from the user,
- wherein the output information includes information indicating a required setting for which correction of the output information is prohibited,
- wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
- in a case where the required setting is unavailable in the image forming apparatus, acquire an additional setting condition related to a printing function usable in another image forming apparatus;
- determine whether the required setting is settable in said another image forming apparatus, based on the additional setting condition;
- and
- cause apparatus information to be displayed in a notification screen for the user, the apparatus information being for identifying said another image forming apparatus in which the required setting is settable, and
- wherein the apparatus information includes information related to an installed location of said another image forming apparatus in which the required setting is settable.
