Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device to perform image formation and circuitry. The circuitry acquires, from a memory, a template image defining a user information area in which user information is input, acquires the user information based on a user input operation, processes the user information in accordance with a position and a size of the user information area, generates a combined image in which the user information is combined with the template image acquired from the memory, and instructs the image forming device to form the combined image on a sheet.
Claims8
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming device configured to perform image formation;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- acquire, from a memory, a template image defining a user information area in which user information is input;
- acquire the user information based on a user input operation;
- process the user information in accordance with a position and a size of the user information area;
- generate a combined image in which the user information is combined with the template image acquired from the memory;
- and
- instruct the image forming device to form the combined image on a sheet.
A method for forming an image including user information, the method comprising:
- acquiring, from a memory, a template image defining a user information area in which the user information is input;
- acquiring the user information based on a user input operation;
- processing the user information in accordance with a position and a size of the user information area;
- generating a combined image in which the user information is combined with the template image;
- and
- forming the combined image on a sheet.
