Abstract:
Provided is an image forming system including an image forming apparatus and a server. The server stores management data. The image forming apparatus accepts an instruction to print in a confidential mode. The image forming apparatus obtains a name of candidate receiver from the server. The image forming apparatus generates a code. The image forming apparatus prints a distribution material including the generated code and the name of candidate receiver corresponding to the generated code. The code is obtained by converting a URL of a site for receipt notification of the distribution material.
