Abstract

According to one embodiment, a system for a decoloring information management of a decoloring apparatus includes an decoloring processing unit, a sheet conveying unit, a sheet reading unit, a user ID reading unit, a storing unit configured to store a predetermined information, and a control unit. A sheet on which an image is formed with an decolorable colorant is subject to decoloring processing. The sheet conveying unit conveys the sheet and causes the sheet to pass through the decoloring processing unit. The sheet reading unit is arranged further on an upstream side than the decoloring processing unit. The user ID reading unit reads ID information of a user. The storing unit stores predetermined information. The control unit controls the storage unit to correlate the user ID and the read information by the sheet reading unit.

Dependent claims

A system for decoloring information management of a decoloring apparatus, comprising:

a decoloring processing unit configured to perform a decoloring processing to decolor an image formed with decolorable colorant on a sheet;
a sheet conveying unit configured to convey the sheet and cause the sheet to pass through the decoloring processing unit;
a sheet reading unit arranged on an upstream side of the decoloring processing unit in a sheet conveying direction of the sheet conveying unit and configured to read the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying unit;
a user ID reading unit configured to read ID information of a user;
a storing unit configured to store a predetermined information;
and
a processor configured to:
determine a state of the sheet based on a detection result in the sheet reading unit, and
