Abstract

In an image determination unit, a possibility that a read image is a predetermined image which is prohibited from an image formation is determined. If the possibility exists, an operation of the image formation is interrupted and whether or not the pertinent image is a predetermined image is determined based on the image information which is continuously inputted. If it is determined that the input image is a specific original, the image formation is suspended, while if not, the image formation processing is restarted.
