Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that is able to output both a content written in advance on a sheet and character information written on the sheet by a digital pen.SOLUTION: A digital pen is able to write a character on a format sheet, and is able to store, as a handwriting image 30, character information written on the format sheet and a position information indicating the position of a character in the sheet. An image forming apparatus comprises a communication section for communicating with the digital pen, and a control section for controlling the image forming apparatus. The control section receives the handwriting image 30 from the digital pen via the communication section, acquires a sheet image 35 showing the sheet, positions the handwriting image 30 on the sheet image 35 on the basis of the character position information. The control section then synthesizes part or all of the handwriting image 30 with the sheet image 35, and outputs the result of the synthesis as a synthetic image 40.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】用紙に予め記載されている内容と、デジタルペンによって用紙に書き込まれた文字情報との両方を出力できる画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】デジタルペンは、フォーマット用紙に文字を記載することができ、フォーマット用紙に記載された文字情報と、用紙内における文字の位置を示す位置情報とを筆跡画像30として記憶することができる。画像形成装置は、デジタルペンと通信するための通信部と、画像形成装置を制御するための制御部とを備える。制御部は、通信部を介してデジタルペンから筆跡画像30を受信し、用紙を表わす用紙画像35を取得し、文字の位置情報に基づいて筆跡画像30を用紙画像35に位置合わせした上で、筆跡画像30の一部または全部を用紙画像35に合成し、当該合成の結果を合成画像40として出力する。【選択図】図2
