Claims12
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming unit;
- a data recording unit that records a file on a non-contact tag attached to a recording medium;
- and
- a controller that controls the image forming unit to form, on the recording medium, an image indicating a storage location of the file recorded on the non-contact tag at a source of the file.
A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations, the computer communicating with an image forming apparatus comprising an image forming unit and a data recording unit that records a file on a non-contact tag attached to a recording medium, the operations comprising:
- controlling the image forming unit of the image forming apparatus to form, on the recording medium, an image indicating a storage location of the file recorded on the non-contact tag at a source of the file.
A system comprising:
- a computer comprising:
- a print data generating unit that generates a print data of an image indicating a storage location of a file at a source of the file;
- and
- a communicating unit that transmits the print data generated by the print data and the file;
- and
- an image forming apparatus comprising:
- a communicating unit that receives the print data and the file transmitted from the communicating unit of the computer;
- an image forming unit that forms the image based on the print data on a recording medium;
- and
- a data recording unit that records the file on a non-contact tag attached the recording medium.
