In the system 1 according to the second embodiment, the first embodiment is that an image having an image of display information for displaying the electronic document of the document P or the document information D1 on the display device is a copy image GC. It differs from the system 1 which concerns.
Hereinafter, differences from the system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a copy C according to the second embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 11, the information for displaying the electronic document or document information D1 of the document P on the display device is a URL (Uniform) that is a sequence of formal symbols for identifying resources on the Internet. Resource Locator). The display information may be code information such as a QR code (registered trademark).
When the generation unit 33 of the server device 30 receives a request (a copy request) that the image formed on the document P should be formed on a different medium from the document P stored in the document storage unit 32. A copy image GC having an image of display information (URL, code information, etc.) for displaying the document information D1 on the display device as an example of an image different from the image (original image GP) formed on the document P A print job for forming the image on another medium is output. The image processing apparatus 10 that has received the print job from the server apparatus 30 forms an image of URL or code information on a recording medium. As a result, the recipient receives the copy C in which the image of the URL or code information is formed.

  When the display information is a URL, the recipient inputs the URL described in the copy C in a web browser, for example, opened on the display screen (for example, liquid crystal screen) of the installed PC or portable terminal. Thus, the electronic document or document information D1 of the document P can be confirmed via this display screen. That is, when the recipient inputs the URL described in the copy C into, for example, a web browser, the page for displaying the electronic document of the document P or the document information D1 designated in advance by the server device 30 is displayed on the PC or portable terminal. Displayed on the display screen. Then, the recipient can check the electronic document or document information D1 of the document P by looking at the display screen of the PC or portable terminal.

  Further, when the display information is code information, the recipient scans the copy C (reading by the image reading unit 108) in the image processing apparatus 10 and thereby reads the document via the display unit 107 of the image processing apparatus 10. P's electronic document or document information D1 can be confirmed. When the code unit is received from the image processing apparatus 10, the generation unit 33 of the server apparatus 30 displays the electronic document of the document P or the document information D 1 associated with the code information on the display unit 107 of the image processing apparatus 10. And a command for transmitting to the image processing apparatus 10. When receiving this command, the image processing apparatus 10 causes the display unit 107 to display the electronic document of the document P or the document information D1.

  According to the system 1 according to the second embodiment described above, since a copy image GC different from the original image GP is formed on a recording medium (separate medium) different from the document P, special toner or paper is used. Compared to the use, it is possible to easily take a copy that can be easily distinguished from the original. That is, according to the system 1 according to the second embodiment, it is possible to easily obtain a copy that is difficult to be abused while making it possible to confirm the document information D1 of the document P.
