Abstract
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal device. In the image forming apparatus, when a first short-range communication device receives second identification information after a first control device allows formation of an image on a recording paper sheet and storage of first identification information, the first control device determines correspondence or non-correspondence between the first and second identification information. In a power-saving sleep mode of the image forming apparatus, the first control device maintains the sleep mode in the case of the correspondence or cancels the sleep mode in the case of the non-correspondence. When short-range communication is enabled between the first short-range communication device and a second short-range communication device of the mobile terminal device, a second control device of the mobile terminal device allows the second short-range communication device to send the second identification information to the first short-range communication device.
