Abstract
An image forming apparatus is connected to a device managing apparatus via a network. The image forming apparatus acquires its own current status and estimates an estimated status. The estimated status is a status following the current status. The image forming apparatus transmits the current status, the estimated status, and a transition condition that governs a change of status from the current status to the estimated status to a device managing apparatus.
