Abstract
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus. In the image forming apparatus, a first controller designates consumable items that can supply a consumable material, as valid consumable items, generates consumable item setting information indicating the valid consumable items, causes a first communication device to transmit the consumable item setting information to the information processing apparatus, generates consumption information of the valid consumable items, when the first communication device receives a request for the consumption information, and causes the first communication device to transmit the consumption information to the information processing apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, a second controller causes a second communication device to transmit the request for the consumption information to the image forming apparatus, and stores the consumption information of each of the valid consumable items in a storage device, when the second communication device receives the consumption information.
