The memory controller stores permission information in a memory, the permission information representing a user who is permitted to use a medium contained in a paper feeder of an image forming apparatus. The receiver receives a print setting including a type of a medium to be used and identification information identifying a user. If use of the medium of the type included in the print setting by the user identified by the identification information included in the print setting is not permitted in the permission information, the limiter limits the use of the medium by the user.
