Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a determination processing portion and a special operation sound generating portion. The determination processing portion determines whether or not image data received from an external apparatus is confidential data. When the determination processing portion determines that the image data received from the external apparatus is the confidential data, the special operation sound generating portion executes a process of generating a special operation sound that is different from an operation sound that occurs when the image data is other than the confidential data.
