  • Patent number: 10812670
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image output unit, an image reading unit, and a controller. The image output unit outputs an image on a recording medium. The image reading unit reads an image on a recording medium. The controller charges a first user for a fee so as to output mixed images from the image output unit. The mixed images have a first image and a second image. The first image is an image for which the first user is to pay an output fee. The second image is an image for which a second user is to pay an output fee. The second user is a charge destination different from a charge destination of the first user. When the image reading unit reads the second image for which the second user is to pay the output fee, the controller switches an output fee for the image read by the image reading unit, from the output fee charged to the first user, to the output fee that is to be paid by the second user.

  • Patent number: 9465568
    Abstract: A printing management apparatus includes a storage unit, a confirmation unit, a changing unit, and a processor. The storage unit stores schedule information including a correspondence among a visit schedule for a user to visit a visit destination, a printing schedule of target print data associated with the visit destination, and a printing location for the target print data. The confirmation unit confirms whether or not the visit schedule is to be changed, in accordance with a positional relationship between the visit destination and the user. When the visit schedule is changed, the changing unit changes the printing schedule in accordance with the change. The processor causes the target print data to be printed by using a printer installed in the printing location, in accordance with the printing schedule.
