Abstract:
1. An image processing device which, on the basis of a job inputted from an image processing terminal, carries out merging processing which synthesizes, with a predetermined merge form, a merge image which is based on one of image data and a drawing command of the job, said image processing device comprising: a storing component which stores form data of the merge form and a verification code set for the merge form; a read-out component which, when a verification code of a merge form is inputted in the job, collates the inputted verification code and the verification code stored in the storing component, and reading out, from the storing component, form data whose verification code matches the inputted verification code; a synthesizing component which synthesizes merge data, which is based on the merge image, with the form data read out by the read-out component, so as to generate synthesized data; an encoding component encrypting the synthesized data generated by the synthesizing component using the verification code to prevent the synthesized data from being viewed by others; and a holding component which holds the encrypted synthesized data in an encrypted form.
