Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes a printing data reception unit, an identification information creation unit, an identification information transmission unit, an HDD, an image forming unit, an identification information acceptance unit, and a controller. The printing data reception unit receives from a communication terminal device printing data including printing target data and its printing accompanying information with a predetermined protocol. The identification information creation unit creates identification information upon receiving the printing data. The identification information transmission unit transmits identification information to the communication terminal device. The HDD stores the printing data. The identification information acceptance unit accepts input of the identification information. The controller makes the image forming unit print the printing target data corresponding to the input identification information.
