Abstract
An image forming apparatus capable of allocating CO2 emissions to an appropriate account based on whether printed matter is normally output. The image forming apparatus generates printed matter by executing a plurality of processes including an image forming process according to a given print job. The image forming apparatus includes a memory device that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to calculate CO2 emissions generated in the image forming apparatus, and allocate the CO2 emissions to an account selected according to whether the printed matter is normally output.
Claims11
An image forming apparatus generating printed matter by executing a plurality of processes including an image forming process according to a given print job, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a memory device that stores a set of instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
- calculate CO2 emissions generated in the image forming apparatus;
- and
- allocate the CO2 emissions to an account selected according to whether the printed matter is normally output.
A control method for an image forming apparatus generating printed matter by executing a plurality of processes including an image forming process according to a given print job, the control method comprising:
- calculating CO2 emissions generated in the image forming apparatus;
- and
- allocating the CO2 emissions calculated to accounts according to whether the printed matter is normally output.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for an image forming apparatus generating printed matter by executing a plurality of processes including an image forming process according to a given print job, the control method comprising:
- calculating CO2 emissions generated in the image forming apparatus;
- and
- allocating the CO2 emissions calculated to accounts according to whether the printed matter is normally output.
