Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a time setting unit that sets a print allowable time according to the amount of advance payment, a usage time count unit that counts a usage time and a print allowance determination unit that determines, from the time setting unit and the usage time count unit, whether printing is allowed or prohibited. Before the time counted by the usage time count unit reaches the print allowable time, the print allowance determination unit allows the printing to be performed whereas after the time counted by the usage time count unit reaches the print allowable time, the print allowance determination unit prohibits the printing from being performed.

Abstract: An image forming device switches a system speed when assignment of a license has been accepted, and stores switching information of the system speed. The image forming device performs two-stage image stabilization for determining a setting value of a parameter relating to an image formation process of the image forming device when the switching information of the system speed is stored, and performs single-stage image stabilization for determining a setting value of the parameter relating to the image formation process of the image forming device when the switching information of the system speed is not stored.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, while executing a print job that designates a delivery destination of a printed matte of a first quality to a first delivery tray, and prints multiple sets in which each set includes multiple sheets subjected to image formation in order of pages based on multiple page image data, in a case of having determined that a printed matter being conveyed is a printed matter of the second quality, printed matters of one set consecutive from the printed matter of the second quality are delivered to the second delivery tray, and thereafter, a printed matter of the first quality is delivered to the first delivery tray.
