Abstract
In an image formation apparatus which includes a nonvolatile memory, the apparatus has a first mode of controlling so that a job does not remain in the nonvolatile memory after image formation is performed based on the job and a second mode of storing the job in the nonvolatile memory and not physically deleting the job in the nonvolatile memory after the image formation is performed based on the job, it is registered whether the image formation is performed in the first mode or the second mode with respect to each user authenticated by the apparatus, and it is selectively controlled to perform the image formation in either one of the first mode and the second mode based on the user authentication.
Claims16
An image formation apparatus, comprising:
- an input unit adapted to input authentication information for specifying a user;
- an authentication unit adapted to authenticate whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of said image formation apparatus is approved, based on the authentication information input by said input unit;
- a register adapted to register a security setting with respect to each user authenticated by said authentication unit;
- a judgment unit adapted to judge whether or not the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated by said authentication unit has been registered by said register;
- and
- a controller adapted to control to process the job in one of a first mode of storing a job concerning image formation in a nonvolatile memory and deleting the job stored in the nonvolatile memory after performing an image formation process to the job stored in the nonvolatile memory, or a second mode of performing the image formation process without storing the job in the nonvolatile memory, in a case where said judgment unit judges that the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated by said authentication unit is registered.
An image formation apparatus, comprising:
- input means for inputting authentication information for specifying a user;
- authentication means for authenticating whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of said image formation apparatus is approved, based on the authentication information input by said input means;
- register means for registering a security setting with respect to each user authenticated by said authentication means;
- judgment means for judging whether or not the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated by said authentication means has been registered by said register means;
- and
- a controller adapted to controlling to process the job in one of a first mode of storing a job concerning image formation in a nonvolatile memory and deleting the job stored in the nonvolatile memory after performing an image formation process to the job stored in the nonvolatile memory, or a second mode of performing the image formation process without storing the job in the nonvolatile memory, in a case where said judgment means judges that the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated by said authentication means is registered.
An image formation apparatus which has a nonvolatile memory for storing a job concerning image formation, comprising:
- an input unit adapted to input authentication information for specifying a user;
- an authentication unit adapted to authenticate whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of said image formation apparatus is approved, based on the authentication information input by said input unit;
- a register adapted to register a security setting with respect to each user authenticated by said authentication unit;
- a judgment unit adapted to judge whether or not the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated by said authentication unit has been registered by said register;
- and
- a controller adapted to control, in case a where said judgment unit judges that the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated by said authentication unit has been registered, to process the job concerning the image formation so that the job is not stored in the nonvolatile memory, after executing the image formation.
A control method for an image formation apparatus which has a first mode of sequentially storing a job concerning image formation in a nonvolatile memory and physically deleting the job stored in the nonvolatile memory after performing an image formation process to the job stored in the nonvolatile memory and a second mode of performing the image formation process without storing the job in the nonvolatile memory, said method comprising the steps of:
- inputting authentication information for specifying a user;
- authenticating whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of the image formation apparatus is approved, based on the input authentication information;
- judging whether or not a security setting corresponding to the authenticated proper user is registered to a register;
- and
- controlling to process the job in one of a first mode of storing a job concerning image formation in a nonvolatile memory and deleting the job stored in the nonvolatile memory after performing an image formation process to the job stored in the nonvolatile memory and a second mode of performing the image formation process without storing the job in the nonvolatile memory, in a case where a result of the judgment is that the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated is registered.
A control method for an image formation apparatus which has a nonvolatile memory and a volatile memory both for storing jobs concerning image formation, comprising the steps of:
- inputting authentication information for specifying a user;
- authenticating whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of the image formation apparatus is approved, based on the input authentication information;
- judging whether or not a security setting corresponding to the authenticated proper user is registered to register;
- and
- controlling, in a case where it is judged in said judgment step that the security setting corresponding to the authenticated user has been registered, to process the job concerning the image formation so that the job is not stored in the nonvolatile memory, after executing the image formation.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program causing a computer to execute a control method for an image formation apparatus which has a first mode of sequentially storing a job concerning image formation in a nonvolatile memory and physically deleting the job stored in the nonvolatile memory after performing an image formation process to the job stored in the nonvolatile memory and a second mode of performing the image formation process without storing the job in the nonvolatile memory, said method comprising the steps of:
- inputting authentication information for specifying a user;
- authenticating whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of the image formation apparatus is approved, based on the input authentication information;
- judging whether or not a security setting corresponding to the authenticated proper user is registered to a register;
- and
- controlling to process the job in one of a first mode of storing a job concerning image formation in a nonvolatile memory and deleting the job stored in the nonvolatile memory after performing an image formation process to the job stored in the nonvolatile memory and a second mode of performing the image formation process without storing the job in the nonvolatile memory, in a case where a result of the judgment is that the security setting corresponding to the user authenticated is registered.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image formation apparatus which has a nonvolatile memory and a volatile memory both for storing jobs concerning image formation, comprising the steps of:
- inputting authentication information for specifying a user;
- authenticating whether or not the specified user is a proper user whose use request of the image formation apparatus is approved, based on the input authentication information;
- judging whether or not a security setting corresponding to the authenticated proper user is registered to register;
- and
- controlling, in a case where it is judged in said judgment step that the security setting corresponding to the authenticated user has been registered, to process the job concerning the image formation so that the job is not stored in the nonvolatile memory, after executing the image formation.
