Abstract:
A first image forming apparatus includes a first communication unit to communicate with a second image forming apparatus with a communication scheme without using a network; a monitoring unit to monitor a print job amount; a first control unit to, when the print job amount is not larger than a first threshold, perform control so that a first control signal for causing the second image forming apparatus to shift into a first mode is transmitted to the second image forming apparatus; and a second control unit to, when the second image forming apparatus is in the first mode and the print job amount for the first image forming apparatus is larger than a second threshold, perform control so that a second control signal for causing the second image forming apparatus to shift into a second mode is transmitted to the second image forming apparatus through the first communication unit.
