Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a detector, a reception unit, an output unit, and a controller. The detector detects a distance between the image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal apparatus that is located near the image forming apparatus. The reception unit receives printing data from a mobile terminal apparatus. The output unit outputs, when a specific operation is performed by a user, a printing result based on the printing data received by the reception unit. The controller controls, in a case where the printing data received by the reception unit is printing data from a mobile terminal apparatus for which the distance detected by the detector is within a preset range, the output unit to output the printing result without requiring the specific operation by the user.

Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus. A storage unit stores a second table tabulating a usage amount when a user uses an apparatus for each identifier for tabulation separately from a first table in which user information is registered for each identifier for authentication of the user. A reception unit receives a user identifier. A registration unit registers the user identifier in the second table as an identifier for tabulation, when the received user identifier establishes an authentication by a verification in the identifier for authentication registered in the first table, and is not registered in the second table.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a first authentication unit, an accepting unit, and a second authentication unit. The first authentication unit obtains, from a terminal apparatus, information regarding a user who uses the image processing apparatus, and performs first authentication of the user by using the obtained information. The accepting unit accepts an instruction relating to image processing from the terminal apparatus in the first authentication. The second authentication unit accepts information regarding the user for whom the first authentication has been successfully completed, and performs second authentication in order to permit performing of the image processing based on the instruction accepted by the accepting unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a first retrieval unit that retrieves a table of document data, an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium in accordance with the document data, a second retrieval unit that retrieves a cumulative amount of images formed by the image forming unit, a third retrieval unit that retrieves a threshold value of the cumulative amount of images formed by the image forming unit, and a display unit that displays a selection screen that allows a user to select document data forming an image from the document data included in the table. If the cumulative amount does not exceed the threshold value, the display unit displays a screen including a batch selection screen. If the cumulative amount exceeds the threshold value, the display unit displays an individual selection screen.
