Patent ID: 8186574

Claim:
An image-forming system comprising: a data-reading unit that reads first additional data from a first storing member of a sheet member; an image-forming unit that forms a first image based on the read first additional data by the data-reading unit; a restricting unit that gives a restriction to the first additional data stored in the first storing member after the first additional data is read, in order to restrict, after forming the first image by the image forming unit, further formation of the first image based on the first additional data stored in the first storing member; a first determining unit that determines whether or not the first image has been formed on the sheet member, and wherein the image-forming unit forms on a recording medium the first image based on the additional data if the first determining unit determines that the first image has not been formed on the sheet member; a second determining unit that determines whether or not the recording medium has a second storing member, and wherein the image-forming unit forms on the recording medium the first image based on the additional data if the second determining unit determines that the recording medium does not have the second storing member; and a third determining unit that determines whether or not the second storing member stores second additional data that is allowed to form a second image based on the second additional data, if the second determining unit determines that the recording medium has the second storing member, and wherein the image-forming unit forms on the recording medium the first image based on the additional data if the third determining unit determines that the second storing member does not store the second additional data.
