The combining unit combines data from a first path and data from a second path. The image forming unit forms a combined image based on combined image data which is obtained by combining, by the combining unit, original image data from the first path and additional image data from the second path and which is transmitted through a third path. The verification unit verifies combined data which is obtained by combining, by the combining unit, verification data from the first path and verification data from the second path and which is transmitted through the third path. The controller detects, based on a verification result by the verification unit, falsification of data in the first path, the second path and the third path.
