Abstract
An image forming system includes uninterruptible power supply apparatuses; image processing apparatuses each connected to a corresponding one of the uninterruptible power supply apparatuses; and a management apparatus that issues, when a fault has occurred in one of the uninterruptible power supply apparatuses, a stop instruction to an image processing apparatus connected to the uninterruptible power supply apparatus. The image processing apparatuses include a first image processing apparatus that develops print information into image information, stores the developed image information, and outputs the stored image information to an image forming apparatus, and a second image processing apparatus that develops the print information into image information and outputs the developed image information to the first image processing apparatus. The management apparatus issues, when the first image processing apparatus is connected to an uninterruptible power supply apparatus in which a fault has occurred, stop instructions to all the image processing apparatuses.
