Image forming device and control method

A method for controlling an image forming device including a printer configured to form a desired image on a sheet based on image data, the method comprising:

• displaying, by a display of the image forming device, the desired image;
• receiving, by a controller of the image forming device, a first designation by a user of a designation region of the desired image displayed by the display;
• receiving, by the controller, a second designation by the user of a superimposition position at which a same-shape region is superimposed on the desired image, the same-shape region being the designation region having a common shape;
• and
• transmitting, by the controller, user designation information indicating the designation region and the superimposition position to an external device.

An image forming device comprising:

• a printer configured to form a resultant image on a sheet based on image data identifying a desired image;
• a user interface configured to display the desired image;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive a first input from a user through the user interface, the first input identifying a first region of the desired image containing an in-region image;
• receive a second input from the user through the user interface, the second input identifying a second region of the desired image onto which the in-region image is superimposed when the printer forms the resultant image;
• and
• transmit user designation information identifying the first region and the second region to another device.
