Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a combining unit configured to combine a document image and a coded image; a setting determining unit configured to determine whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed; and a prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the combining unit from combining the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image according to the setting when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made.
Claims11
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a combining unit configured to combine a document image and a coded image;
- a setting determining unit configured to determine whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed;
- and
- a prohibiting unit configured to prohibit the combining unit from combining the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image according to the setting when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a combining unit configured to combine a document image and a coded image;
- a setting determining unit configured to determine whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed;
- and
- a print suspending unit configured to suspend printing of an image obtained by the combining unit's combining the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made.
A print controlling method for an image forming apparatus that includes a combining unit configured to combine a document image and a coded image and that prints the document image according to a print instruction, the method comprising:
- determining whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed;
- and
- prohibiting the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image from being combined according to the setting when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made.
A program stored on a computer-readable storage medium, the program allowing a computer to execute a print control method, the method comprising:
- determining whether a setting for combining a document image including a previously combined coded image and an other coded image is made when a reproduction of the document image is instructed;
- and
- prohibiting the document image including the previously combined coded image and the other coded image from being combined according to the setting when the result of the determination indicates that the setting is made.
