Print management server, image formation apparatus, image formation authenticating system and computer readable storage medium storing program
First Claim
1. A print management server communicationally connected with an image formation apparatus through a communication network, comprising:
- a storage unit to store image data;
a security setting obtainment unit to obtain security setting information indicating a set state of a security function of the image formation apparatus from the image formation apparatus;
a security judgment unit to judge whether the set state of the security function of the image formation apparatus satisfies a previously settled condition or not based on the security setting information obtained by the security setting obtainment unit; and
a transmission control unit to transmit the image data stored in the storage unit to the image formation apparatus when the security judgment unit judges that the set state of the security function satisfies the previously settled condition.
