Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit; a data saving unit; a drawing data generating unit; a log storage unit that stores a processing log; an image forming unit; and a data management unit. The data management unit, when the print job is analyzed as a time designated print job; causes the data generating unit to generate the drawing data; causes the data saving unit to save the drawing data; that, when analyzed printing being enabled at the designated print time, causes the image forming unit to perform image formation based on the drawing data and causes the log storage unit to store therein a processing log; and that, when printing is analyzed as disabled at the designated print time, performs processing corresponding to a print disabled state preset and causes the log storage unit to store therein a processing log about the processing.
