Image forming device, image forming method, image forming program, computer readable recording medium on which the program is recorded

An image forming method comprising:

• a transporting step of transporting a document sheet by sheet to a specified reading position;
• a document judgment step of judging whether the document transported by said transporting step is an electronically tagged printed matter that includes an electronic tag storing original image data;
• a printing paper judgment step of judging whether there is an instruction for printing the original image data on an electronically tagged printing paper equipped with an electronic tag;
• a reading step of reading the original image data from the electronic tag of the document which is judged as said electronically tagged printing matter by said document judgment step, when said printing paper judgment step judges that there is an instruction for printing on an electronically tagged printing paper equipped with a electronic tag;
• and
• a printing step of printing the original image data on an electronically tagged printing paper equipped with an electronic tag, wherein the original image data is read by said reading step, wherein
• said printing step issues a blank paper as an output, when a document is judged not as an electronically tagged matter by said judgment step while said printing paper judgment step judges that there is an instruction for printing on a printing paper equipped with a electronic tag.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing an image forming program for causing an image forming device to execute:

• a transporting step of transporting a document sheet by sheet to a specified reading position;
• a document judgment step of judging whether a document transported by said transporting step is an electronically tagged printed matter that includes an electronic tag storing original image data;
• a printing paper judgment step of judging whether there is an instruction for printing the original image data on an electronically tagged printing paper equipped with an electronic tag;
• a reading step of reading the original image data from the electronic tag of the document which is judged as said electronically tagged printing matter by said document judgment step, when said printing paper judgment step judges that there is an instruction for printing on an electronically tagged printing paper equipped with a electronic tag;
• and
• a printing step of printing the original image data on an electronically tagged printing paper equipped with an electronic tag, wherein the original image data is read by said reading step, wherein
• said printing step issues a blank paper as an output, when a document is judged not as an electronically tagged matter by said document judgment step while said printing paper judgment step judges that there is an instruction for printing on a printing paper equipped with a electronic tag.
