Abstract:
A storage unit that stores user use frequency information including a use count of a user, who uses an image forming apparatus, for each of image forming apparatuses, and that temporarily saves a print file which is input; a use frequency confirmation unit that confirms a use frequency of a given user for each of the image forming apparatuses by using the user use frequency information; and a file movement request unit that moves the print file, which is temporarily saved in the storage unit, to a different image forming apparatus are included. The use frequency confirmation unit selects one image forming apparatus which satisfies a predetermined movement condition by using the confirmed use frequency for each of the image forming apparatuses, and the file movement request unit moves the print file, which is temporarily saved in the storage unit, to the selected image forming apparatus.
