1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a history storage unit configured to store a job history that shows a history of a job;
a history writing unit configured to divide the job history for the job into a plurality of histories, add identification information to the plurality of histories for associating the plurality of histories with each other, and write the plurality of histories to the history storage unit;
a history reading unit configured to read the plurality of histories for the job on the basis of the identification information; and
a history deleting unit configured to delete the job history from the history storage unit, whereinif the job is a transmission job for transmitting data to a destination and if the destination is already stored in the history storage unit, the history writing unit is configured to include destination identification information for identifying the destination in the job history and write the job history; and
when the history deleting unit deletes the job history including the destination, the history writing unit is configured to add the destination to a most recent job history of all job histories including the destination identification information.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores job history management program code to be executed by a computer of an image forming apparatus, the job history management program code comprising:
-
first sub program code for causing the computer to divide a job history for a job into a plurality of histories, add identification information to the plurality of histories for associating the plurality of histories with each other, and write the plurality of histories to a history storage unit; second sub program code for causing the computer to read the plurality of histories for the job on the basis of the identification information; and third sub program code for causing the computer to delete the job history from the history storage unit, wherein if the job is a transmission job for transmitting data to a destination and if the destination is ready stored in the history storage unit, the first sub program code causes the computer to include destination identification information for identifying the destination in the job history and write the job history; and when the job history including the destination is deleted under the third sub program code, the first sub program code causes the computer to add the destination to a most recent job history of all job histories including the destination identification information. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A job history management method for a job history in an image forming apparatus comprising:
-
dividing, in a history writing unit, a job history for a job into a plurality of histories, adding identification information to the plurality of histories for associating the plurality of histories with each other, and writing the plurality of histories to a history storage unit; reading, in a history reading unit, the plurality of histories for the same job on the basis of the identification information; and deleting, in a history deleting unit, the job history from the history storage unit, wherein if the job is a transmission job for transmitting data to a destination and if the destination is already stored in the history storage unit, the history writing unit includes destination identification information for identifying the destination in the job history and write the job history; and when the history deleting unit deletes the job history including the destination, the history writing unit adds the destination to a most recent job history of all job histories including the destination identification information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
