1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a storage portion which stores first data and second data associated with the first data and which stores permission information for determining whether or not a permission condition for permitting output of the first data is satisfied;
an image reading portion which reads an image;
a print portion which prints an image; and
a control portion in which whether or not a first data output printed material that is a printed material obtained by printing based on the second data is read by the image reading portion is determined, and in which when it is determined that the first data output printed material is read by the image reading portion and the permission condition is satisfied, the print portion is made to perform printing based on the first data corresponding to the second data whereas when the permission condition is not satisfied, the print portion is prevented from performing the printing based on the first data corresponding to the second data;
wherein the image reading portion includes a transport reading contact glass and a placement reading contact glass, reads, in a transport reading mode, an original document which is automatically transported to the transport reading contact glass and reads, in a placement reading mode, an original document which is placed on the placement reading contact glass,the permission information includes information indicating a permission reading mode of the transport reading mode and the placement reading mode andwhen image reading portion reads the first data output printed material in a mode different from the permission reading mode, the control portion determines that the permission condition is not satisfied.

14. An image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a storage portion which stores first data and second data associated with the first data and which stores permission information for determining whether or not a permission condition for permitting output of the first data is satisfied; an image reading portion which reads an image; a print portion which prints an image; and a control, portion in which whether or not a first data output printed material that is a printed material obtained by printing based on the second data is read by the image reading portion is determined, and in which when it is determined that the first data output printed material is read by the image reading portion and the permission condition is satisfied, the print portion is made to perform printing based on the first data corresponding to the second data whereas when the permission condition is not satisfied, the print portion is prevented from performing the printing based on the first data corresponding to the second data; wherein the permission information includes information indicating a position of a check region, and when the image reading portion reads the first data output printed material, the control portion performs processing for detecting a predetermined image from the check region of image data of the first data output printed material obtained by the reading and when the control portion cannot detect the predetermined image, the control portion determines that the permission condition is not satisfied.

15. An image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a storage portion which stores first data and second data associated with the first data and which stores permission information for determining whether or not a permission condition for permitting output of the first data is, satisfied; an image reading portion which reads an image; a print portion which prints an image; and a control portion in which whether or not a first data output printed material that is a printed material obtained by printing based on the second data is read by the image reading portion is determined, and in which when it is determined that the first data output printed material is read by the image reading portion and the permission condition is satisfied, the print portion is made to perform printing based on the first data corresponding to the second data whereas when the permission condition is not satisfied, the prints portion is prevented from performing the printing based on the first data corresponding to the second data; wherein the permission information includes information indicating reading turns, and when the first data output printed material is read by the image reading portion, if continuous reading which continuously reads a plurality of sheets of original document including the first data output printed material is performed, the control portion determines that the permission condition is not satisfied whereas even when the continuous reading is performed, if the reading turn of the first data output printed material in the continuous reading is different from the reading turn indicated in the permission information, the control portion determines that the permission condition is not satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (16)
