Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit, a radio wave intensity measurement unit, and a communication control unit. The radio wave intensity measurement unit measures a radio wave intensity of radio waves received by the communication unit. The communication control unit performs control associated with communication disruption between the portable terminal and the communication unit when the measured result is lower than a predetermined first radio wave intensity and continuously decreases for a predetermined reference time.
