An image forming device which is arranged to execute an authentication
print job. The image forming device includes: a communication interface
unit which receives print data; a job data holding unit which holds job
data for the an authentication print job based on the print data; a job
execution unit which executes a job based on the job data; an
authentication unit; a user authentication unit which outputs a user
authentication result; a control unit which instructs a start of
execution of the authentication print job to the job execution unit based
on the user authentication result; and an instruction generation unit
which outputs to the control unit an instruction to change a setting with
respect to the authentication print job based on an input of a user
authentication result, wherein: the instruction generation unit outputs
the instruction to change the setting with respect to an authentication
print job in an execution state or an execution queuing state based on
the input of the user authentication result that is received in an after
user authentication period; and the control unit executes a process of
changing the setting based on the instruction.
