Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit, an image data generating unit, a memory, and a saving unit. The receiving unit receives a print instruction. The image data generating unit generates output image data in response to the print instruction received by the receiving unit. The memory stores specification information for specifying a print instruction for which operation history information is to be obtained. The saving unit saves, in a case where specification information on the print instruction received by the receiving unit matches the specification information stored in the memory, operation history information indicating that image formation processing has been performed by using the output image data in response to the print instruction.
