Abstract
The present invention provides an image forming device terminal for enhancing the productivity of the image forming process such as printing. An image forming device terminal for instructing execution of a printout process on an image forming device capable of executing an authentication print printing, includes a selection accepting unit which accepts a selection of an image forming device for executing the printout process from a plurality of image forming devices; a determination unit which classifies the selected image forming device to a first type image forming device or a second type image forming device based on whether or not the selected image forming device is a default set image forming device; and a generating unit which generates job data as a printout process of not the authentication print printing in a case where the selected image forming device is the first type image forming device, and generates job data as a printout process of the authentication print printing in a case where the image forming device is the second type image forming device.
