Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a print restriction information table, a print job receiver, a print job decider, a communication unit, a print job reception notifier, and a print job executor. The print restriction information table contains a document under print restriction and an approver. The print job receiver receives a print job for printing the document. The print job reception notifier transmits a notice that the print job has been received, to the terminal managed by the approver through the communication unit, when the print job decider has decided that the print job is for printing the document registered in the print restriction information table. The print job executor executes the print job, when the print job that is same as the print job received by the print job receiver is received from the terminal managed by the approver.
