Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé d'impression ou de numérisation d'un document électronique. Un serveur de traitement à base de règles est connecté à un dispositif multifonction permettant de numériser et d'imprimer et à un serveur d'impression, qui vérifie si des personnes associées au document électronique ont l'autorisation d'accéder au document électronique et si le document électronique peut contenir des informations prédéfinies, et dans le cas où une personne n'a pas l'autorisation d'utiliser le document électronique ou les contenus prédéfinis représentés par le document électronique, le traitement du document électronique sur le serveur d'impression est interrompu.
