ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus capable of restricting copying using, as a master copy, a copy of a produced work such as a book. An MFP is provided with a printing permission/prohibition judging section and an output paper sheet selection section. The printing permission/prohibition judging section judges whether or not restriction information for restricting image formation is contained in either (i) an information tag provided in a document, or (ii) image data acquired by an image scanning section. The output paper sheet selection section selects a regulatory-information-containing recording paper sheet (i.e., a recording paper sheet on which a copy restriction code/pattern has been formed in advance, or a recording paper sheet having a wireless tag in which regulatory information has been stored in advance) as a recording paper sheet to be subjected to the image formation, which regulatory-information-containing recording paper sheet contains the regulatory information for prohibiting or restricting an image forming process based on the recording paper sheet on which an image has been formed.
