Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a paper feed section and a processing section. The paper feed section stores paper. The processing section executes a decoloring processing for decolorizing an undecolored paper stored in the paper feed section, and issues a warning indicating that the paper stored in the paper feed section is taken out when the decoloring processing is stopped, or does not issue the warning when the decoloring processing is completed.

A method for preventing printing on undecolored paper, including:
- executing a decoloring processing for decolorizing undecolored paper stored in a paper feed section, and
- issuing a warning indicating that the paper stored in the paper feed section is taken out when the decoloring processing is stopped, or not issuing the warning when the decoloring processing is completed.
A system comprising:
- a multifunction device configured to execute a decoloring process to decolor undecolored paper, the multifunction device being provided with a display;
- and
- a system controller configured to
- cause the multifunction device to initiate a decoloring process of the undecolored paper;
- determine an interrupt state of the decoloring process;
- determine a completion state of the decoloring process;
- and
- cause the multi function device to display a guide map on the display, in response to determining that the decoloring process is in the interrupt state,
- wherein the guide map contains instructions to return to the decoloring process.
