Image Forming Device, Image Forming Device Terminal, Image Forming System, and Program

A computer readable medium storing an image forming device control program executed by a computer of an image forming device terminal for sending an instruction to an image forming device capable of executing an authentication print printing, which is a printout process of performing user authentication using a predetermined authentication device and determining start of execution of a printout process based on a result of the user authentication;

• the image forming device control program comprising:
• code that receives a selection of a document data file;
• code that receives a selection of whether to have the printout process of the selected document data file as an authentication print printout process or a printout process of not the authentication print printing;
• code that transmits an instruction containing the printout process of the document data file to the image forming device;
• and
• code that transmits to the image forming device an instruction containing a process of registering to the image forming device to have the printout process of the document data file as the authentication print printout process based on a content received by said code that receives a selection of whether to have the printout process of the selected document data file.

An image forming device capable of executing an authentication print printing, which is a printout process of performing user authentication using a predetermined authentication device and determining start of execution of the printout based on a result of the user authentication;

• the image forming device comprising:
• a storage unit that stores a document data file and setting data of the authentication print printing of the document data file;
• a communication interface that receives instruction data containing instruction of a process related to the document data file stored in a document box from an image forming device terminal, communicating with the external image forming device terminal;
• an authentication print setting determination unit that, when the instruction data contains the printout of the document, determines whether to execute the process instructed by the instruction data as the authentication print printing or a normal printout process based on setting data of the authentication print printing stored in said storage unit;
• an authentication unit that is the predetermined authentication device;
• a user authentication unit that outputs the result of the user authentication using said authentication unit;
• a job executing unit that executes the job related to the instruction data based on the result of the user authentication;
• and
• an authentication print setting registration unit that edits the setting data of the authentication print printing stored in the storage unit based on the instruction data,
• wherein, when the instruction data contains data indicating to turn ON the setting of the authentication print printing, said authentication print setting registration unit edits and turns ON the setting data of the authentication print printing of the document.
