Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a printer unit; at least one of a copier unit and a facsimile unit; a lockable tray with a lock, to store a recording medium; an image formation controller to control at least one of the printer unit, the copier unit, and the facsimile unit in response to a request from a user. In response to a print request for printing using the lockable tray, the image formation controller determines whether the print request is from a user authorized to use the lockable tray based on association information between the lockable tray and the user authorized, and causes the printer unit to perform printing when the print request is from the user authorized. When the request is directed to the copier or facsimile unit, the image formation controller prohibits the copier or facsimile unit from performing printing using the lockable tray.

Claim (Index 7):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising an unlocked tray to store a recording medium before printing of the print image.
