Abstract

An image forming apparatus having a function of detecting an image of a specific original document performs recording by detecting an image showing the specific original document such as paper money from inputted image data, generating a pattern denoting a manufacturer's serial number which is specific for the apparatus in a case where the image showing the specific original document has been detected and synthesizing the pattern with inputted image data.
