The input device is configured to detect a user's selection of an image for display in the at least one image for display and to detect an input, to a drawing region of the display device, of a drawing by a user indicating an image quality abnormality with respect to a target image corresponding to the selected image for display. The storage is configured to store drawing information based on the input of the drawing via the input device and to store estimation abnormality information related to the drawing information. The communication circuit is configured to output the drawing information, which can be used for servicing the image forming apparatus, to a server.
