ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an image forming apparatus with a department management function connected to computers provided in plural departments, respectively, via a network. The image forming apparatus has a communication interface with external apparatuses to which addresses different from one another notified for the respective computers of the plural departments are allocated, respectively. When, from the computer of each of the departments, a print job including an address notified to the department and print data is transmitted via the network, the image forming apparatus receives this print job with the communication interface. The image forming apparatus discriminates a department that has transmitted this print job according to a correspondence relation with the addresses allocated to the communication interface, performs counting by department, and causes the printing unit to execute printing.
