==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image forming device according to an aspect of the present disclosure provides a terminal device with an operation image, acquires a first file to be printed from the terminal device, generates the first identification information that is identification information for approving printing of the first file to be printed, and stores a first object to be printed that is first print data obtained by converting the first file to be printed or the first file to be printed and the first identification information in association with each other. The image forming device notifies the terminal device of the first identification information, receives input of the identification information, identifies the first object to be printed corresponding to the first identification information when the identification information whose input is received matches the first identification information, and executes printing of the first print data of the identified first object to be printed.
