上記した目的を達成するために、本発明の画像形成装置の制御方法は、印刷データの印刷出力を行う画像形成装置の制御方法であって、クライアント装置から印刷データを受信する第１の受信工程と、前記第１の受信工程で受信した印刷データに対する印刷承認の要求を行う要求工程と、前記要求工程による要求に応じて入力される、前記印刷データの印刷承認情報を受信する第２の受信工程と、前記２の受信工程で受信した印刷承認情報を前記第１の受信手段で受信した印刷データと対応付けて記憶装置に記憶する記憶工程と、前記印刷データに対して印刷要求を受け付ける第１の受付工程と、前記第１の受付手段で印刷要求を受け付けた印刷データの印刷許可判定に用いる入力情報の入力を受け付ける第２の受付工程と、前記第２の受付工程で受け付けた前記入力情報と、前記第２の受信工程で受信した前記印刷承認情報とが合致するかを判定することで、当該印刷データの印刷を許可するかを判定する印刷許可判定工程と、前記印刷許可判定工程で印刷を許可すると判定された場合に、前記第１の受付工程で印刷要求を受け付けた印刷データを印刷出力する印刷出力工程と、を備えることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a control method for an image forming apparatus according to the present invention is a control method for an image forming apparatus that prints out print data, and includes a first receiving step of receiving print data from a client device. When the a request step for requesting the printing authorization for the print data received in the first reception step, is input in response to a request by said request step, a second reception for receiving print approval information of the print data A step of storing the print approval information received in the second receiving step in a storage device in association with the print data received by the first receiving means, and a step of accepting a print request for the print data 1 of the receiving step, a second reception step of receiving the input of the input information used to print permission determining the print data received a print request by the first receiving means, said second reception A print permission determination step for determining whether printing of the print data is permitted by determining whether the input information received in the step and the print approval information received in the second reception step match. A print output step of printing out the print data for which the print request has been accepted in the first accepting step when it is determined that the printing is to be permitted in the print permission judging step.

上記した目的を達成するために、本発明の印刷データの印刷出力を行う画像形成装置を、クライアント装置から印刷データを受信する第１の受信手段と、前記第１の受信手段で受信した印刷データに対する印刷承認の要求を行う要求手段と、前記要求手段による要求に応じて入力される、前記印刷データの印刷承認情報を受信する第２の受信手段と、前記２の受信手段で受信した印刷承認情報を前記第１の受信手段で受信した印刷データと対応付けて記憶装置に記憶する記憶手段と、前記印刷データに対して印刷要求を受け付ける第１の受付手段と、前記第１の受付手段で印刷要求を受け付けた印刷データの印刷許可判定に用いる入力情報の入力を受け付ける第２の受付手段と、前記第２の受付手段で受け付けた前記入力情報と、前記第２の受信手段で受信した前記印刷承認情報とが合致するかを判定することで、当該印刷データの印刷を許可するかを判定する印刷許可判定手段と、前記印刷許可判定手段で印刷を許可すると判定された場合に、前記第１の受付手段で印刷要求を受け付けた印刷データを印刷出力する印刷出力手段として機能させることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above-described object, an image forming apparatus that prints out print data according to the present invention includes a first receiving unit that receives print data from a client device, and the print data received by the first receiving unit. and requesting means for performing a print request approval for the requesting unit is inputted in response to by the request, second receiving means for receiving print approval information of the print data, printing authorization received by the second receiving means A storage unit that stores information in a storage device in association with the print data received by the first reception unit; a first reception unit that receives a print request for the print data; and the first reception unit. a second accepting means for accepting input of the input information used to print permission determining the print data received a print request, and wherein the input information received by the second receiving means, said second By determining whether the print approval information received by the communication unit matches, it is determined that the print permission determination unit determines whether to permit printing of the print data, and the print permission determination unit determines that printing is permitted.
