Abstract
An image forming apparatus that includes an image forming section configured to form an image on a sheet and is capable of communicating with a server. The image forming section executes a series of an image formation job including a first step for forming an image on a sheet having a first attribute and a second step for forming an image on a sheet having a second attribute different from the first attribute after the first step. History information of the image formation job, which enables identification of switching timing between the first step and the second step, is acquired and notified to the server.
